I agree with whomever it was that suggested that a hello is in order for new participants. Just by way of introduction, my name is Ashley, I'm a longtime fan of literature in all forms, but get particularly thrilled about authors who love their characters the way Salinger does (and Woolf as well). In fact, I've never met anyone else who agreed with me that Salinger and Woolf have some remarkable similarities in their voices and character development (a slow way of showing rather than telling, I think). Perhaps someone would like to bolster or assassinate my assertion? [Really, I'm friendly.] Thanks, ashley
