question: The Murder of John Lennon was committed by the man who read which book until he was arrested?
answer: The Catcher in the Rye
context: Title: Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon
  Passage: Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon is the third official compilation album of John Lennon's solo career, coming after 1975's "Shaved Fish" and 1982's "The John Lennon Collection".  Because neither collection spanned Lennon's releases up to and including 1984's "Milk and Honey", "Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon" – considered the definitive Lennon retrospective – was compiled to rectify the situation.  It was released in the UK in 1997 through Parlophone and early 1998 in the US by EMI Records.
  Title: Murder of John Lennon
  Passage: John Lennon was an English musician who gained worldwide fame as one of the members of the Beatles, for his subsequent solo career, and for his political activism and pacifism.

  Title: Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon
  Passage: Nowhere Man: The Final Days of John Lennon, first published in 2000 and written by New York journalist Robert Rosen, who in 1981 had access to John Lennon's diaries, is a controversial account of the ex-Beatle's last five years.  The book disputes the official view of Lennon as a contented househusband raising his son Sean and baking bread while Yoko ran the family business.  Instead, "Nowhere Man" portrays Lennon's daily life at the Dakota as that of a "tormented superstar, a prisoner of his fame, locked in his bedroom raving about Jesus Christ, while a retinue of servants tended to his every need."
  Title: I'm Losing You (John Lennon song)
  Passage: "I'm Losing You" is a song written by John Lennon and released on his 1980 album "Double Fantasy".

The song is also available on the 1982 compilation "The John Lennon Collection", the 1998 boxset "John Lennon Anthology", the one disc compilation "Wonsaponatime", the 2005 two disc compilation "" and in 2010 for the "Gimme Some Truth" album.  The song was also featured in the 2005 musical "Lennon".
  Title: Life Begins at 40 (song)
  Passage: "Life Begins at 40" is a song by John Lennon.  It was written in 1980, the year that both Lennon and Ringo Starr turned 40 years of age.  Lennon recorded a demo of the song at his home, but it was not recorded at any of the sessions for his comeback album, "Double Fantasy."  Instead, he intended to give the song to Starr to record on his own forthcoming album, "Can't Fight Lightning."  The song's amiable country feel was well suited to Starr's singing style.  After Lennon's murder in December 1980, those plans were shelved.  However, Lennon's demo was eventually issued in 1998 on the "John Lennon Anthology" box set.

On the 2000 reissue of "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band", "Hold On" features a slightly longer introduction.  The original version was restored on the 2010 reissue.

A tour of the museum began with a welcoming message and short film narrated by Yoko Ono (in Japanese with English headphones available), and ended at an avant-garde styled "reflection room" full of chairs facing a slide show of moving words and images.  After this room there was a gift shop with John Lennon memorabilia available.
