But given where i am, i guess i should say Mele Kalikimaka instead!
also, in terms of a very short book review:
very interesting.
very interesting. K. had suggested i read this book a few months ago and i finally found the time to do it. it took me about a day off and on, and i've been trying to decide what i think of the book every since i finished it.
the book is written in a series of letters that this high school freshman boy, Charlie, sends to an unidentified reader throughout the school year, and through these letters we get to experience Charlie's life. he's an awkward kid with great taste in music (this occurs in the 90's, so it's a lot of the smith's and nirvana, etc.), and an apparently astounding IQ. he reads and writes and smokes and drinks, and he's in love with his best friend, Sam (a girl).
i just spent the passed 15 minutes writing up my thoughts on this book and what happens and what Charlie goes through and how he grows, etc., and then deleted it all. it makes no sense for me to try and explain this book. there's just too much going on, and definitely too much to take in. let's just say i like the book and think you should give it a shot. it's one of those books where, if you don't like it in the first few pages, you won't like the entire thing, so at least you'll be able to figure it out quicky and decide whether to finish it or not!

"and in that moment, i swear we were infinite."
