Salinger died of natural causes at his home in New Hampshire on January 27, 2010. He was 91. Salinger's literary representative commented to The New York Times that the writer had broken his hip in May 2009, but that "his health had been excellent until a rather sudden decline after the new year. He was not in any pain before or at the time of his death."
He was best known for Catcher in the Rye, which is pretty much the story of every teenager at some point. Franny and Zooey is another popular novel of his, though never as well known as Catcher. It's definitely sad to see him gone.
But other than that, celebrate his life and work by talking about his books.
