You might not have given any of your lovely words in decades, but you will be missed.
"What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse."

I'd suggest some of his other stories. I particularly love the ones that deal with his Glass family. I.E. "Raise High the Roofbeams and Seymour an Introduction" and "Franny and Zooey"
Those are my faves.

I did try to read it whether in my senior year of high school or my first year of college. O_O;;
It didn't grab me.
But maybe, just maybe if I read it now, I'll like it since I do like The Beats from the similar era.

Who cares when you got the BEATS! *sigh* I sorta going through a whole new Beat phase!

I heard that he had been working on stuff all this time, but wasn't going to publish it until after his death... horrible as this sounds, I can't wait to find out if that is true.
