Well, you've read all of Salinger that's easy to get to. The rest you
have to dig through library archives for :)
Yeah, I've been on the Joyce list, and the CS Lewis list, and am on a
Christianity and Literature list, and I think Salinger affects his
readers on a level I haven't seen anywhere else. Except for maybe CS
Lewis. But the types of statements made are different.
