Do you think Seymour would stalk his idol?

I think folks camping out by Salinger's house is akin to seeing Caulfield
in Hollywood selling maps to the stars.

Sorry; I just think I might have better things to do with my time.

Sure I've thought that Salinger might be one of the folks on the short list
of people I'd like to have dinner with, but I think he's given enough
signals by now that he doesn't have any plans of having dinner with me.

I would rather go on, admiring his work and perhaps knowing tangential
factoids of the man's life, and maybe no more, than to have the effects of
his work upon me be tarnished by the memory of a bad encounter with an
elderly man who is more and more turned off by phonies by people who just
have to stake out his driveway for a chance to tell him just how much his
work means to them...
