A lot of my favorite people adore those bands.

I am both intimidated and amazed by that book anytime I read even part of it.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899234430667300016.post-90258878426884075432011-06-30T17:33:37.149-04:002011-06-30T17:33:37.149-04:00Catcher in the Rye is in my stack of books I'm...<i>Catcher in the Rye</i> is in my stack of books I'm planning to read soon. Have I missed anything by not having read it in all these years. Nirvana is okay, but not my favorite band. I mostly like older stuff.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
