Curate, connect, and discover
I just finished The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
Definitely in my top 3 books, now.
The 'Afterword' letter in the 2012 edition made me cry a little.
I'm glad Charlie made it.
I just finished the perks of being a wallflower for the very first time and I cannot believe I have to continue to exist today like my heart wasn’t just ripped out of my chest and squeezed so hard by a short book about a boy writing letters during his first year of high school. Like I have to go out and do thing’s tonight like my soul doesn’t feel broken from reading of the greatest books I’ve read in a long while. Part of me is mad that I haven’t read it sooner but I know that if I did I wouldn’t have been able to understand the true significance of it so I’m grateful I didn’t read it till now.
Not to make any sense but Charlie from TPOBAW would listen to Alex G if he was living rn.
My biggest roman empire is the connections between Dead Poets Society and The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Todd Anderson and Mr. Anderson
How Mr. Anderson cared so much for Charlie because he saw so much of his old self in him (Todd)
How Charlie's best friend (Michael) killed himself
How Todd's best friend (Neil) killed himself
The presence of a teacher that would change everything for Todd and Charlie (Mr. Keating and Mr. Anderson)
How reading is something so apreciated for the characters and so essencial in their lifes
How both Charlie and Todd were so lonely and the family they find in their newest friend group
Honestly, I could talk about it for hours in a row and it would still not be enough
