J. D. SALINGER

WATCHED THE INTERESTING DOCUMENTARY, SALIGER, ON NETFLIX. AN INTERESTING PERSON BUT ALL MESSED UP. IN MYTH HIS, CATCHER IN THE RYE, CHANGES PEOPLE'S LIVES. ACTUALLY BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE READ IT PROBABLY ABOUT 60 YEARS AGO. I DO NOT RECALL HAVING BEEN CHANGED IN ANY WAY. IT WAS OK.

HIS MAIN WEAKNESS WAS YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL, INTELLECTUAL WOMEN. I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS BUT I AM NOT REALLY CLEAR AS TO HOW HIS WOMEN DIFFER FROM THE AVERAGE BAR SKANK. BUT OK, YOU CAN DISAGREE. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF SMARTS AND MOST PEOPLE AVERAGE OUT TO NORMAL.
