My favorite authors are Largo C. and Ernie Hemm. I once translated a quaker
oats box into swahili. It took a long time. I translated Ace of Base into
english 23 times. My email address is shorter than yours. My favorite
book is "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein. By the way, Ceda,
would you give it back? I haven't met anyone who has gotten the point of
anything, ever.

fans of salinger (as represented on this list anyway) seem to have plenty of
interests in the world of art (or psuedo-art) and literature, so I was
wondering what other authors you all read. I have just finished Ahwosg by
Dave Eggers and think that salinger fans must love this guy. here we have
someone who looks much like salinger at the world, uses almost the same
prose form to approach his audience, and is readily available. you can talk
to this guy, you can see him in bookstores...he's not finding Forrester's
"the face". how does he seem to you? what intrigues you about him? and by
the way...why does the literary world appreciate catcher (far from the top
of my list) and pass over franny and zooey, which may well be the best book
I have had the pleasure of reading. if I have offended you, or I have
identified myself as a phoney, then turn me off and forget my mail, which
shall go past you as innocuous and undoubtedly forgettable, which it is.
but you know...i have read the bhagavad gita in Sanskrit, i have translated
it, i have read 23 translations of it, and I think salinger is the only one
who got the point. that means something in my book. that's my disconnected
statement for the day,
so long
