Hi everyone, I (following the directions on the disclaimer that I recieved when signing up for this list) just want to introduce myself because I am new to this list. Um...My name is Sarah; I'm a philosophy major at Mills College (all-girls school) in Oakland, Ca and I'm 18. Let's see, I don't really know what else to say except that I guess I am joining the list because, even though I first read all of J.D. Salinger's books a long time ago and many times subsequently, I have just recently realized how much they affected and meant to me , particularly _Franny and Zooey_. That is about it; this is my first real news group so I am not really sure how this all works. But I'm excited.
