Catcher in the Rye Got Caught

I'm pleased to report that the list of Catcher in the Rye-related songs posted on my Classics Rock! site last Friday drew some attention. Gloria McDonough-Taub at CNBC featured it in the Bullish on Books blog on the network's web site, and gave it a shout-out on Twitter as well. Ron Charles at the Washington Post also tweeted about it. And Deirdre Donahue of USA Today posted it on Facebook.

I guess it pays to have two blogs. Perhaps I should start a third....

Bullish on Gloria

Gloria McDonough-Taub writes the wonderful "Bullish on Books" blog on CNBC's web site (among other things). Earlier this year Gloria generously referred to me as "one of the best publicists out there." That was back when I was still, you know, out there.

The week my Publishers Weekly essay ran, Gloria gave it (and me) a tremendous boost by featuring it in "Bullish on Books."

It’s a great read – filled with reality, optimism and lessons for those who know how it really feels - AND - for those who have to make the difficult choices of who to let go and who to keep.

Amen!
