If you really want to hear about it,

the first thing you’ll probably want to know

is where I was born, and what my lousy

childhood was like, and how my parents

were occupied and all before they had me,

and all that David Copperfield kind of crap,

but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want

to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff

bores me, and in the second place, my

parents would have two hemorrhages apiece

if I told anything pretty personal about them.

--from JD Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye
