 I finished reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower the other day and I really, really loved it. I don't know why I never read it when I was younger or during that awkward adolescent phase, but better late than never. I borrowed the book from the library and boy, is it torn and tattered! A lot of tape is holding it together and I can't help but smile because so many have read it. There are so many things I liked about it, so many things I could identify with in my life right now. And I know I probably say that a lot about everything I've seen or read recently, but Perks truly touches upon a subject that's hard to encompass: growing up. "And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad... I don't know. It's just different. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Like Sam said. Because it's okay to feel things. And be who you are about them." Plus, now I can say my laptop is named after 3 different people: Charlie Bucket, Charlie Brown, and Charlie from Perks. And I also really want to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show live now. And do the Time Warp. |

I've always wanted to read Perks but haven't yet. I'm afraid it will disappoint but my faith is renewed after this review!
Charlie is such a charming name for your laptop!
