  I am Jack's favorite book  |  June 03, 2005  |

This is my favorite quote from one of my favorite books. Every time I read the following I feel this overwhelming wave of emotion.

"...I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around--nobody big, I mean--except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff--I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy."

I think that's what I'd like to be too -- and yes, it is crazy.

Jack
