I love what Teddy says about the floating orange peels.
(Teddy, J.D. Salinger)

Salinger.

I am in love with J. D. Salinger. He writes the most beautifully tragic short stories. I just want to go and live in his mind and speak his thoughts.
I could go on for hours about how his words move me.
Though I’ve never read his “biggest hit”, the catcher in the rye, I almost don’t want to. I am afraid it might ruin how I see him and his brilliance.
go read: “Franny and Zooey”, “Perfect Day for Bananafish”, “The Laughing Man”, and basically everything else. Those are just my favorites at the moment.
I am going to go buy “Seymour, An Introduction” this week.
