2. J.D. Salinger
Famous for his book The Catcher in The Rye, this American writer led his life very privately with few interviews and TV show-ups. However, it was known that he was firstly very interested in Buddhism, until he didn’t find out about Hindu religion. He became an adherent of Ramakrishna’s Advaita Vedanta, school of Hindu religion which advocated celibacy and detachment from some human responsibilities such as family.
