Did not even realized he still alive. One of my favorite books.

Sad. Such a great author. I can't say he'll be missed because he was so reclusive but so many, such as myself, will always love The Catcher in the Rye.

May he rest in peace.

Rough week losing both Salinger and Zinn.

I heard he had a secret stash of several novels that were to be published after his death. We'll see!

However, friends and visitors to his home have revealed that he has a large safe containing at least 15 completed manuscripts.
Wonder if any of them will be published.
