RIP J.D. Salinger

When I was an overly sensitive teenager, too concerned with the world's hypocrisies, Salinger's Franny and Zooey helped me get through it. Rereading it now, it's a touch precocious, but still an unflinching look at what it takes to grow up in the modern world. Most of the rest of his writing is top notch, too.

You also have to respect someone that stopped at the top of his game.
