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."

--Catcher in the Rye

This made me incredibly sad. Catcher in the Rye is one of my all-time favorite books!

I know! It is so sad! I ♥ all of his stuff, especially Catcher and anything that had the Glass family in it.

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.
