The most Salinger-like passage I've read yet, I think would have to be the end
of A Moveable Feast by Hemingway, At the end when Hemingway sees his wife and
his children after spending time with the rich people and what he has to say
about all of it.  I thought that the writing style and the message it conveyed
was so much like Salinger.  Did anybody else think so?  Also I've noticed some
Bob Dylan fans on the list.  How about Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie? I've
always liked the way he dealt with phonies in the middle when he says "look at
my skin shine look at my skin glow and you can't even tell if they have any
insides". (or something like that.)
    I'd also like to apologize for writing in love and war in my introduction
instead of A Farewell to Arms, I'm sure alot of people noticed, but you were
just too nice to say anything about it.  To steal and change a phrase from
Proffessor Longhair, My mind is gone.  I'm in a graduate program where you
have to wear headphones to your finals so that nobody will psyche you out.
I'm doing it because I want to protect lists like this and make sure that
authors can say what they want and so that no more books get banned. (All by
myself :) )  The problem is that right now I'm competing with people who dream
about themselves in Armani suits, and that's a great motivator.  During break,
I'll be writing treatises on horse-picking!  I'm sure that you'll all be
holding your breath until then.  Liz
