One of my favorite authors of all time. Very sad. Yet to die of natural causes at 91 is not so bad.

Catcher in the Rye was okay, but it was his short stories and novellas about the Glass family that were just stunning.

A little selfish weasel deep inside me is kinda wondering if his estate will release all those amazing things you know he's written but kept in milk cartons under his bed for the past 50 years.
