What little I know

Well I have read The Catcher in the Rye, Franny & Zooey, Raise High the
Roofbeams Carpenters and Seymour an Introduction and Nine Stories (my
personal favorite). I never really got into analyzing literature, but
for some reason Salinger has made me like poetry. I used to hate poetry
and now I want to be a poet, or I think I am and just need to learn how
to express myself. Whatever the case Salinger (and a couple of others
like Kerouac) have made me change the way I view life. Every aspect of
it. I'm assuming many of you have seen the same things I have or this
list wouldn't exist. For no obvious reason I find myself grinning at
the little old Okinawan lady who cuts my hair. I wonder if this is what
Holden felt when he saw the little kid singing his song. I just know
the world (my part in particular) is much better thanks to Salinger.
