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?

 have the info here (I'm at my empty in-law's park ave apt, less than 20
 blocks south of Sol Salinger's old place) but the real point I want to
 make is that most books are findable on the web.  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! >>
