Hi, I am way behind in my list reading, so I haven't been saying much lately.
If you get Entertainment Weekly magazine, you might like to turn to page
176 of the Nov 16th edition and see the one paragraph article about my site.

Oh hell, here's the text of the article:
'The Catcher' on the Web
"It's been cherished by countless sensitive teens as a mirror of their own
youthful detachment -- and condemned by several libraries as being unfit
for young readers. Certainly, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye has
lost none of its poignant power since its publication 50 years ago. And in
the years since, the book has found several homes on the Web, including
this oft-visited unofficial site run by Denver-based software engineer
Suzanne Morine (geocities.com/exploring_citr). She explains in the site's
FAQ how she turned the world of prep-schooler Holden Caulfield into a
hypertexty encyclopedia of '50s pop culture: "I had been thinking that it
would be funny to have a list of all of the characters in the book." This
grew into a massive index of phrases and movie stars (by her count, phony
is mentioned 37 times; Peter Lorre, once). Morine then posted maps and
photos tracing Holden's New York City wanderings -- the ice rink, the
benches in Grand Central Station -- to create something akin to a Catcher
movie. But, as Holden says, "If there's one thing I hate, it's the movies."
As for the famously reclusive Salinger himself -- well, it looks like we'll
never know." -- Glenn Gaslin
