Okay, okay, I've read heard Pynchon referred to so many times on this list
that I've resolved to try and read some of his work. I took a look at Mason &
Dixon at the local Barnes and Nobles and thought it looked a little too
daunting for an introduction. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what
I should read first?

ObSalinger: I think that out of all of Salinger's female characters, I'm most
drawn to Charlotte. Even though we don't know much about her, I like the idea
that she was probably Seymour's first love. Buddy tells us that Muriel had a
striking resemblance to her.  Also, it's sweet that she never held it against
Seymour that he threw a rock at her just because she looked so perfect
standing there.
