Breaking News Alert The New York Times Thu, January 28, 2010 -- 1:17 PM ET ----- J.D. Salinger, Author of 'The Catcher in the Rye,' Is Dead at 91 J. D. Salinger, who was thought at one time to be the most important American writer to emerge since World War II but who then turned his back on success and adulation, has died in Cornish, N.H., where he lived in seclusion for more than 50 years, his son told The Associated Press. He was 91. Mr. Salinger's literary reputation rests on a slender but enormously influential body of published work: the novel "The Catcher in the Rye," the collection "Nine Stories" and two compilations, each with two long stories about the fictional Glass family: "Franny and Zooey" and "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction."

I read "The Catcher in the Rye" as a teenager and didn't get much out of it.
I also remember "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and all of the turkies who were rereading it and getting layers and layers of deeper meanings out of it before the author admitted it was basicly nonsense and didn't mean much.
