- 2424: The Catcher In The Rye The Duc
- So where do the Ducks go in the Winter? It seems that serial killers have great taste in literature. Just go read their favorite books. There isn't a Richard Bach or Harlequin Romance fan amongst them. Out of a morbid curiosity I read something that is said to have influenced Charles Manson (Stranger in a Strange Land) and I find the answers to questions that I've been asking for years.

Maybe it's a bit morbid to take book recommendations from serial killers, but who else can give you reading suggestions? Teachers? Friends? Oprah? Hell no! The Catcher in the Rye is the book preferred 9 times ...

- 2430: Death Of A Salesman 9
- Loving a person too much can often be deceiving. Failing to act upon the truth in order to protect an individual s pride and emotions can bring about destruction for the American Dream. Lois Gordon s quote about Linda is a good example of the disillusionment that many people experience when loving someone too much, when he says, Linda, as the eternal wife and mother, the fixed point of affection both given and received, is, in many ways, the earth mother who embodies the play s ultimate moral value--love.
