J.D. Salinger sues!



If you've been waiting for someone to write a sequel to CATCHER IN THE RYE, you may have to wait a little longer: The author of 60 YEARS LATER: COMING THROUGH THE RYE, which supposedly follows an aged Holden Caulfield adrift in New York, is going to court along with his company "Windupbird Publishing" (hmmmm) against the too-reclusive-to-appear-on-"The Simpsons" author.

I have no particular love for CATCHER... but a poll last year found it was America's 10th favorite book. Let's hope 60 YEARS LATER author John David California's prose is more inventive than his pseudonym.

Know what would improve THE CATCHER IN THE RYE? ZOMBIES.

Vampires, pirates, ninja, and robots are all viable options too.

I was going to say vampires 'cause every time I contemplate re-reading CATCHER I feel woozy and have to lay down and drink lots of fluids. (Hear that sizzle, J.D.? You just got burned!)
