Another interesting one from the NYT that you knuckle draggers probably can't read: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/29/books/29salinger.html?hp=&pagewanted=all. Not a surprise to anyone what a strange, miserable old bastard he was. Still, "Catcher" stands as a great read and you could hear that voice in a lot of later writers. Hell, the cadre of kickassers at National Lampoon during it's 1970-1980 heyday channelled him perfectly.
