Nooooooo!

The Catcher in the Rye has sold over 70 million copies and continues to sell 250k each year. Huge!

I thought his name was familiar. I never had to read the book though. RIP.

It's still selling?! WOW

RIP JD Salinger
I actually read his book (CITR) but I think it was way overpraised, if you say so but it's a good read nonetheless.

“If a body catch a body comin' through the rye”

RIP JD Salinger

author of the best book ever.

LEGEND.

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE WAS A MASTERPIECE

This is just so sad

I JUST what it on tv, so sad
The Catcher in the Rye is one of my fav books.

I had to read that book for a class work. It was just too bad he refused to let the media come close to him or his work. Anyway, RIP.

RIP

My condolences go to his family. RIP, JD Salinge. The Catcher In The Rye is such a great work.

RIP
