Hello one and all :D
due to the complete and utter fail of my laptop it has been an age and a half since i visited the fair land of EOFF. Computers are indeed the bane of my existance, anywhoo i digress. Because of my lack of internets I read, lots, including this great short story called 'A Perfect Day For Banana Fish' by J.D. Salinger. To put it simply it blew my mind. It confused the hell out of me but it was really interesting.
Here's a link to the story on the interwebz, I reccomend reading it if you haven't :D
J. D. Salinger: A Perfect Day for Bananafish (http://www.freeweb.hu/tchl/salinger/perfectday.html)
If you have read it, and I won't spoil it for people who haven't, whats your opinion on the ending, why did he do it? Also what on earth have banana fish got to do with anything in the first place?
These are the questions that haunt me :p
