I agree with pretty much every words you wrote about it: it is definitely one of my favorite books and I definitely fell in love with Charlie. I have quoted it over and over again because the words in that book are magical to me. It is a book that I will never forget.Jenniferhttp://www.justicejennifer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-43721497480441878412011-06-12T23:58:27.988-05:002011-06-12T23:58:27.988-05:00I need to read this one again.

I am stunned by your words. I have not seen someone this excited about a book in a long time. It really reminds me of why I love to read and why I read so much. The possibility of stumbling across a book that can so effortlessly change your life, like this one so clearly has with you, is just mesmerizing. Wonderful, beautiful, crazy-good post my dear!

It is EPIC. I re-read it about once a year or so, but I've always wondered how I would feel if I picked it up for the first time now (in my late 20s)... Your post makes me feel like maybe it would be the same. It's brilliant and beautiful and one of my very favorite things (but I have no idea how I'd ever be able to really explain how or why, especially on my blog - maybe I'll try one day).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444210485916237686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180446384835146464.post-63050751441050760902011-06-04T09:55:36.251-05:002011-06-04T09:55:36.251-05:00Time for a reread!
