Not My Job: Author Nora Roberts (aka JD Robb) Gets Quizzed On J.D. Salinger

Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me! | Feb 18, 2017

If you added up all the time Nora Roberts has spent just in the No. 1 spot of the New York Times best-seller list, she would clock in at more than four years. She's had 198 books on the list in total — both romance novels and thrillers.

Roberts sometimes publishes under the name JD Robb, so we've decided to ask her three questions about another, somewhat less prolific JD — J.D. Salinger, author of The Catcher in the Rye.
