Hello, I just joined your discussion list and wanted to say hi and introduce = myself. I have been a Salinger fan since I was eight (twenty years = ago). My least favorite is Catcher in the Rye - which may blow some of = you away, but what can I do. =20 I so enjoy his writing on the Glass family. I am always torn between = Seymour and Buddy, as to which one I feel more connected to. Often I = wonder if they are both part of Salinger himself. =20 Not much else to say, except I named my cat Esme. Looking forward to some good discussions - Christy
