I really enjoyed this book. I felt drawn to Charlie, because my childhood was of a similar vein. I appreciated that despite his social awkwardness he was able to have friends and live his life.

Bidding haitus to this book and moving on to another.

And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.” ...more

Wish I'd read this earlier...it's a book that I need to live with for awhile. I do love the way it feels as if I've been given a newly external focus. ...more
