RIP J.D. Salinger and Howard Zinn

Your literature got me through some crazy transitional periods in my life, and for that I'm grateful. Your presences in the literary world will be greatly missed. Thank you for pushing the envelope.
     "Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior.  You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know.  Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now.  Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles.  You'll learn from them - if you want to.  Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you.  It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement.  And it isn't education.  It's history.  It's poetry." - J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
