At least someone understood my joke....

Nope. I got it right away:

Thwack.
Holden ... go to your room.
Now!!!:tongue:

He's finally dead, the goddamn phony!!!

Wonder if he left any novels behind worth reading? He was said, by his ex wives--to always be writing.

I heard he made a plan for all his work to be released upon death, so I'm oddly excited by the fact that he died, even though I love him to bits.

Good career move.

I almost died of boredom trying to read Franny and Zooey and Catcher In The Rye.

Still it is good news that the artcle says it was natural causes so hopefully not a long time suffering thing just a quick exit.

Too bad your mind is so narrow. Great reads. Both of them the summer of my 14th year.

Now if somebody would understand mine. Maybe it just wasn't that funny.:redface:

I wonder if this means Thomas Pynchon won't be writing any more novels.

Now if somebody would understand [my joke]. Maybe it just wasn't that funny.:redface:

Maybe not that funny.
Or maybe too subtle.
(I have no idea.)
