What can I say about this book that hasn't been said 15 bazillion times ? I love it , I loved it more this time than the last time I read it, and I am sure when I read it again I will find something there again to make me love it even more. It is a classic for a reason.

This is my summer read. Along with a million Entertainment Weekly back issues. Yeah, that summer read? It was 2008.
