<p>I always wondered if he really had 15 novels locked in a safe in his house. Now I guess we’ll find out. [‘Catcher</a> in the Rye’ author J.D. Salinger dies | Comcast.net](<a href=“Discovery Hub - News & Technology”>Discovery Hub - News & Technology)</p>
<p>The question is – do we mourn the loss, or do we shrug, as Holden might do?</p>

<p>Well since I hated Catcher on the Rye, I think I shrug.</p>
<p>I loved C in the R, and absolutely adored the Glass Family.</p>
<p>And Nine Stories is brilliant stuff.</p>
<p>Wish he’d kept writing.</p>
<p>lit major–I say bleh to CitR </p>
<p>Shrug. (Which is certainly more than I’ll be getting from strangers when I pass on . . .so, a compliment to him, I guess.)</p>
<p>I hated it so much I can’t even type the title correctly!</p>
<p>Its been such a long time since I read it, I don’t remember what I thought. I think I enjoyed it-- just dont recall strong feelings one way or the other. But JD Salinger’s death just erases one more tick mark from my HS years…</p>
