Hmm.. I don't see that many other people, locally I mean,
interrested in Salinger-esque material. I'm probably in the wrong spot. I
suppose, I look at these texts as some kind of bestowing or bequeathing unto
me a large responsibility, which I cannot possibly uphold. I guess I'm
wondering, If someone on this list lives on a secluded reef where schools of
Bananafish have been spotted by drunk fisherman and innocent girls. I mean,
How many of us are seventeen and researching? (Curious word, that
'researching,' especially with the preffix.) The idea that there's a new
wave of Bananafish coming in makes me uneasy and ecstatic.. -jared
