I just love the irony of an admitted book burner being on a JD Salinger
mailing list. The author whose books you choose to burn is a moot point.
The point is you feel so passionately one way or another about them as to
want to destroy their work. Makes me wonder if there are any other authors
whose books you have burned. Where did you learn this behaviour? Do your
parents burn books as well? Your brothers and sisters? Do you hang out with
friends who burn books as well? Has pyromania consistently been a form of
release when you're angry with literature you don't agree with?
