Speaking of literary references, one thing that has always been puzzling to me
is the passage in Catcher where Holden talks about D.B.'s favorite books and
authors: Fitzgerald's _The_Great_Gatsby_, and anything by Ring Lardner. Why
these? Was JD just giving a shout-out to his buddy Scott? What was his
connection to Lardner?>>
I always thought that one of the smallest similarities between DB and Buddy
was the fact that DB recommends the Great Gatsby, and Buddy says something
about how he read the great gatsby the way many young children read (put book
here). I guess it's not as striking when I can't remember the name of the
other book.
