I figured since I did the whole Rest in Peace, Robert B. Parker thing I figured I really should do the same for J.D. Salinger. The thing is, I hate to admit it, but I thought he was already dead. Isn't that terrible? My dad told me though that Salinger would often come into his store, Family Dollar in Sharpsburg, even up until the week he died. He would stand at the counter and he always had a copy of Catcher in the Rye with him, which he would casually set down on the check out counter so that people would maybe notice who he was. Or else maybe he just liked to read the book when he was in Family Dollar, I'm not sure. Anyway, rest in peace, brother. Someday I will read your book.
