I am also intrigued by J.D. Salinger's posthumous releases....ever read any Salinger @Batman? I watched a documentary on the guy, crazy brilliant fellow and deeply involved in the OSS. He took part of 'Catcher in the Rye' with him when he landed on D-Day.
I've only read Catcher in the Rye, I thought that was the only book he released.

I didn't overly enjoy it to be honest, I think I was in my early 20s when I read it so I probably got there a little too late, I can certainly see why people in their mid teens would enjoy it, I've always meant to go back and re-read it but there is always something else I want to read just that little bit more.

Holden just came across as a whinging little twat, walking around calling everyone a phony, he was basically emo before it was known as emo.

Again though its been about 15 years since I've read it so I may look on it overly negatively.
