We are passing one book through the school and it is amazing. Every person has their own "color" of a highlighter and you highlight you favorite parts and leave comments. That is truly the best way to read Perks. P.S. I feel infinite! All I know is that it is not banned where I live! We are passing one book through the school and it is amazing.

I'm glad i read the book and I tell all my friends to read it, Because I really don't think there is anything better then feeling infinite. P.s. Thanks for the article I have to do a report on why it's banned and you helped. (even through I don't really know if this is an article or not... oh well) I’m 15 and I read this book ( and your article which was really awesome :) ) and I liked it alot, in fact I think it’s a book everyone should read, of course it deals with stuff parents probably don’t want you to know, but I relate to charlie in a way I can’t explain ( maybe it’s the fact he’s fifteen and it’s his first year of high school) but I really kind feel that all teens go through these stages and all teens know this awkward, I-have-no-idea what- I’m-doing stage, and it’s nice to know your not the only one going through it.

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:30:59 +0000 http://rjsbooklady.wordpress.com/?p=735#comment-1115 "original emo icon" ...seriously? Emo is short for Emotive Hardcore which is a genre of music that was established through the creation of gravity records. This genre of music thrived in the late 80's and early 90's. Emotive Hardcore was formed because of the violence found in the Washington D. C. punk scene and this was to be a slightly less violent form of punk. Emo bands include Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Fire Party, Embrace, and Grey Matter to name some major bands. Emo is NOT a whiny little teenager who slices his wrists in a corner. Neither is it bands such as My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. On the subject of the book. Great book. I at first thought it was targeted torwards a female audience so I avoided reading it but when I did pick it up I realized that that was hardly the case. “original emo icon” …seriously?
