We lost two great writers in one day: both J.D. Salinger and Howard Zinn passed away last Wed.
I have always liked Salinger’s Franny and Zooey more than The Catcher in the Rye. In fact, Franny and Zooey was my favorite book in high school. I still remember gobbling up the book one hot summer night in 10th grade.
I have never finished Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States for the reason that it is too depressing and I can’t seem to take more than one chapter at a time.
Rest in Peace.

Hello Moo,
Is it my fault this time our emails stalled? I promise to write right after this. I just thought I'd comment how I love Franny and Zooey.
Which is the one that starts at the train station? Franny, isn't it. I love love that scene.
And Raise High the Roof Beams, Carpenters and Seymour, an Introduction.
Oh...
Michael
