Weekly Reading: Tuesday October 7th, 2008

Currently, I'm reading a book called The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by: Stephen Chbosky. It's about a guy named Charlie who lives at home with his sister, mom and dad while his brother is playing professional football at college. This novel is written in the form of diary entry's that Charlie writes to a nameless friend. It starts off with him describing the death of his only and closest friend Michael. This makes him extremely sad and he no longer has anyone to hang out with or care for him. Charlie is a very antisocial person who does very well in school because all he does is study's and reads. His english teacher becomes concerned and tells him to start attending social events. One day in his work shop class he is entertained by a guy of the real name of Patrick but everyone calls nobody. While attending a football game, Charlie sees nobody and ends up becoming friends with him and his stepsister. Charlie developes a crush on her and tells her about it while crying because he is very emotionally unstable. I've only completed the first of four sections in the book and I really like it and it should be a very good book.
