8. 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' - Stephen Chbosky I haven't read this but heard its REALLY good!

American Gods and the Perks of Being a Wallflower are both excellent books. I was thinking that you might enjoy a writer called Charles de Lint. He has written a lot of great "urban fantasy" books. Also, have you ever read Douglas Adams Hitchikers trilogy? He's really a wonderful sci-fi writer, without making it very geeky.

Are you taking AP English next year? Cause if you are, I'm pretty sure we're gonna read A Farewell to Arms in that class anyway. By the way, this is Lisa.

Might I ask why Farewell to Arms is on your reading list? I might have chosen for a friend another title. I may've said, you know, The Sun Also Rises, especially if you've ever been to Paris, or ever shall go, will be more remarkable. It's like age 29, which is the year my life changed, and most everybody else's, too. It's trying to hold the summer in your hand like water from a cool lake. It doesn't work, ever, but you must try. And A Moveable Feast will give you another reading list, maybe Gertrude Stein and Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford possibly. That's what happened to me, and when I went to Paris, finally, I looked up the sites from the various stories of the Lost Generation.

Thanks for the memories.

Looking back I don't know why I put that book on the list.

Thanks for your recommends! :D Although It's been like three years and I finally replied. Sorry.

the perks of being a wallflower is great, and I've got a copy of white oleander. it's my favourite book, or tied for first. Wicked, by gregory maguire, is awesome. completely awesome. oh, and anything by R.K. Rilke (rainer maria rilke, a german chap from ages ago). absolutely golden poetry.

ps. I also love you. in a not-sexy way, but friendly way. and my sister saw your picture through my myspace, and says that you're cute as hell, and offered to give you a 'hot-beef-injection' with much hip-thrusting. I'd take her up on it, if I were you. you never know.
