It's not the author's fault if some nutbag found subliminal messages to kill in his text.

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 22, spoken by the character Holden Caulfield

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

I read the book, but I can't say I ever UNDERSTOOD the book. Guess that makes me a li'l less dangerous... It's the ones who really get into it that you have to watch. Them, and the guy with four copies of Steely Dan's "Katy Lied" album.

Obsessional people can be dangerous. Or they can just be annoying.

I loved the book, but not the first time I read it at 15 when I thought Holden was just a jerk.

Now I know he's not 'just a jerk'.
