See ya JD

Why is Catcher in the Rye one of the best novels either? Because everyone who reads it thinks, this is great. There's finally a writer who gets me. Someone who can reach inside my head and put on paper all the things I'm thinking. Everyone who reads this thinks they're Holden.

I think I was twelve or thirteen the first time I read it. He had me at the first page going on about this isn't no Charles Dickens David Copperfield crap. And I still see the phonies he talked every day of my life.

You were a curious guy, JD. People were curious and awed about how you chose to leave your life. I hope they'll think real carefully about it if they really release anything from that secret volt you're supposed to have.
