You said you wished that Salinger would die sooner so we could get his stories
sooner :). I'm sure you were kidding, but...

ehm....think about it :).

I'd love to write a story about this. I really had an idea for one. A critic
finally figures out the central thread binding a specific author's work
together, and finds out the author's next planned novel would undo the whole
theory.

So the critic shoots the author before s/he can complete the new novel.

And regrets doing so before getting his/her books autographed :).

PS to Tim -- Tim...could you unsubscribe me from the list from Friday, Oct. 5th
to Monday, Oct. 23rd? I'm getting married Saturday and will be in and around
England for two weeks, and probably won't be able to access e-mail regularly.
I'm going to see if I can do it myself (if I can find the instructions), but if
not, I'd appreciate you doing it. Thanks much.
