A little "Rye"

From "Catcher in the Rye"

"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."

This is the last line, I already posted the first line of this book, which I always find refreshing, modern, and funny every time I come across it. Maybe I'll post it again. I do realize Catcher is old school, cliched class warfare, high brow, snarky literature that everyone takes shots at now, but I still love Salinger, and all his other works. The only reason he's poked at by writers online is that they're just mad they've yet to have an infamous "Salinger siting", and good for him... if he wants to play dead forever, that's his right damnit.
