I'm so sad about this one. I know he hasn't had any public attention in quite a while, but it's still a total upset. He's the writter of possibly one of my all time favorite novel's, "The Catcher In The Rye,". He will most certainly be missed from my half, and will always be acknowledged by me as the person who wrote one of my favorite novels.
If you haven't read The Catcher In The Rye, then you should certainly give it a try. It's a real quick read, and it's insane.
