“Do you always think this much, Charlie?”
“Is that bad?” I just wanted someone to tell me the truth.
“Not necessarily. It’s just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.”
“Is that bad?”
“Yes.” — Perks of Being a Wallflower (p25)
New still from “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”
Dear Hollywood -
Please treat this film well. You took over a decade to make it. Please make the film adaptation worth it.
Sincerely,
One of the Book’s Biggest Fans

Perks of Being a Wallflower -
This book has been with me for over 12 years (I even have a copy on my nightstand right now). It still resonates.
