Hi all! I'm a new bananafisher but a long-time Salinger fan. I just graduated high school and I think the Vonnegut speech is wonderful! It's straightforward and simple adn most wise. Thanks for sharing! Sara P.S. After spending hours in libraries reeling through dusty microfilm for underpublished stories, and not to mention joining this delicious mailing list, I have confirmed all my friends suspicions: I am insane, and completely obsessed with J.D. Salinger! It's great to meet some fellow fans!
