    I think that this is almost big enough for the first 21-thread salute.

    I read somewhere not that long ago (can't remember where) that he sold the movie rights to "Catcher in the Rye" a while back, but that it stipulated that a movie not be made until after his death.

    Can anyone confirm that?

    "What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while...What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though."

    I'd like to hear BYH's seventh-grade interpretation of J.D. Salinger's death.

    Easy. If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where Salinger was born and what his lousy childhood was like, and how his parents were occupied and all before they had him, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but BYH won't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

    I must admit, I was disappointed that 'Catcher in the Rye' wasn't about baseball.
