Salinger is one my favorite authors. Very happy to see this coming up. I have yet to finish Nine Stories as of yet. CITR and Franny and Zooey were fantastic, though. But, as everyone else, I read them in high school (not for required reading though). I was that kid that read the controversial stuff.

I'd read somewhere that he was writing right up until he died and that he had large filing cabinet full of stories that he willed to his daughter and that the ones he wanted published upon his death were color coded. So my only surprise is that this did happen sooner
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
