Itīs been a while since Iīve read Salingerīs work, and I think I need a re-read...
I consider myself an atheist, but since highschool Iīve had sort of an interest
in zen...
Maybe that is why all I seem to remember from the Glass-stories are the
many mentionings of zen...
I donīt remember "all this talk about Jesus", so I guess that means it
didnīt bother me when I read it...
What I remember most clearly, and this has nothing to do with religion, is
that about Seymour (??) having lots of quotes on the back of his door... Iīm
not sure why I remember it so clearly, but everytime I read something that
fascinates me I tend to think that I should write it down and put it on my
door...
