Salinger said it best in Catcher in the Rye:
What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.
Thanks for getting it, sir. And for inspiring words. Holden Caulfield will live forever.
