One Book Leads To Another.... And Another.... And Another

I read J.D. Salinger's Catcher In The Rye in late adolescence, a time when many old youngsters (I'm using that term here instead of young adults) love that book. Many, but not all. I didn't like it, and I never
expected to read any more Salinger.
Then, many years later, I read There's A Boy In The Girls' Bathroom, by Louis Sachar. Now, THAT'S one of my favorites. Anyway, in this book, one of the characters, a school counselor named Carla, reads a passage from another Salinger book: Raise High The Roof Beam, Carpenters.
I liked the quote enough that, after more than thirty years, I gave J.D. Salinger another try.
I read Raise High The Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction. {I'm about due for a re-read of those novellas}. Next, I went on to Franny and Zooey. In this book, Franny reads The Way Of A Pilgrim, which I'd never heard of before, but is now another great favorite of mine. {I have, among books, a great many great favorites!}
Perhaps what I love best about Franny and Zooey is that it introduced me to The Way Of A Pilgrim!
But I still don't plan to re-read Catcher In The Rye.

I love stories like this.

EWTN Press Release on Fr. John Corapi

CLICK HERE, and then scroll down.
EWTN wants Fr. Corapi back on the air as much as his viewers and listeners do. Maybe more.
PROBABLY more.
Oh, HOW I'm praying!
