John Lennon was shot by Mark David Chapman outside his apartment. Chapman waited for Lennon and Yoko Ono to come home in their limo, he then called out Lennon's name and shot him. When apprehended they found a copy of the book "Catcher in the Rye".

RIP to one of the greatest song writters of all time.

It's a shame indeed, i know Yoko was a bitch, she should of been killed. Paul said something crude about her to reporters not long ago because she use to bash pauls lyrics all the time. She actually still insults him all the time. Guess he finally had enough and said shit about her lol. Paul McCartney > *

Have you read it? The novel celebrates teen angst and tries to make sense of losing innocence at a young age. Adolescents typically find some applicable and relevant meaning in the subject matter and main character; in other words, it's not a book known for adult themes. Since Chapman was an adult at the time, I think it contributed to the image that he was (still is) a nutcase. It's the type of book you read and identify with at 14 or 15, but grow out of as you mature. I think a lot of people would agree with this, which makes the case of Chapman seem strange, since he claimed to always carry the book with him. Not to mention the fact that Salinger, the author, is a crazy recluse.

I think whoever tried to kill Reagan also carried the book around at all times.

In short, it’s a harmless but controversial piece of literature. That’s why it’s a big deal. Grow the fuck up and stop reading Harry Potter.

RIP John. The world was robbed of a genius 25 years ago.
