Surprisingly, I read a lot of books that I enjoyed this year. A Separate Peace, The Catcher in the Rye...I'm so in the mood to read this summer, too, lol. There is one book that is compared to The Catcher in the Rye and it's called: The Perks of Being A Wallflower. My teacher said it was more like the modern day version when comparing it to that. I heard it was an awesome novel, also, so I think I'm going to buy it. I'm like you too, Chairman Kaga, I'm only interested in a book if it is interesting to me. I want to read Memoirs of A Geisha--my Mom bought it a few years ago and she never read it...I guess I'd better so it's not only useful for collecting dust...lol.
