yeah, had to to edit it, smile. That and I was forced to in an American
literature course in High School. Didn't like or get it back then, and
remotely got it this time, which was what six years later. Still not one I
would recommend and definitely more for the young men I think.
My feminine mind was saying "yeah, so get on with it, what are you talking
about."
Smile.
But I read through all my submissions, well, most of them, on my braillenote
before submitting.

You read that book?
In One of Esther Friesner's Chicks in Chain Male series, Harry
Turtledove writes a hilarious sendup of Catcher in the Rye.
That story almost got me to forgive J.D. for writing the book so
I had to read it in the first place.
