Field of Dreams

In the Book, the author that they seek out is JD Salinger but when they made the movie they switched it to Mr. Mann (James Earl Jones) Anyway, even if you didn't know that but know anything about Salinger you would get who the character was suppose to be. I just watched an HBO doc on Salinger two nights ago. I had no idea that not one, but three, famous shooters had used Catcher in the Rye at least as partial motive (if you would call it that) Salinger was one interesting cat to say the least. I also didn't know that he had about 60 pages on him when he stormed the beaches in France during WW2. Very good doc.
