Where exactly is Salinger's old place? I live in SI, and I have wondered where his apartment was every time I've gone into Manhattan, recently. Since this is my first posting here I suppose i'll introduce myself: My name is Tory. I live on the south shore of Staten Island, NYC's forgotten borough, and one of my cheap and common occupations is being a student at Tottenville high school, and complaining about it. I like to read the "classics," though mostly 20th Century; I'm interesting in history, philosophy, and political and economic science. Am an agnostic and a prude, and am fifteen. I'm a WASP in family, though not completely, on an island once called the "most beautiful area of the East Coast," by some little-known French guy, though Thoreau and Emerson liked the place, also. Now the guidos are more common than not, and we have row upon row of the same house for miles, in some cases. I'm just terrible where math is concerned. Hope my lively prose didn't startle you. It's also put together very badly. Sorry. -I've gotten my friends to call me Holden, besides forcing them to read the book. p.s.-I love the Yankees, but only because I hate baseball, and if the yankees became just a bit more dominant than they are people would start to get bored in the other areas. And also because it's fun to say so, and irritate my mets loving friends. p.p.s.-What used bookstores might you reccomend?

Of course, I have to admit I'm on my way to a few book stores to look for rare books just because in this 3 dimensional life I still live in books and browsing is something I've loved long before this computer chip off the old block, will ps Go Yankees! >>
