The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I watched the movie of The Perks of Being a Wallflower and it was really great. Logan, Emma and Ezra are perfect (Even though Ron and Annabeth are jealous) and it was overall a wonderful adaption of the book. It's now my third favourite book to movie adaptation after Lord of the Rings and Hunger Games. The reason it's so good is possibly because it was directed by the author. I've never heard of that happening before, but it's pretty cool.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Isn't that the weirdest combination of books ever?
Anyway, I finished Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was unsurprisingly really weird. 42 is now my fourth favourite number after 9, 23 and 97.003. I would suggest reading it if you like that kind of humor. It's a book meant for a very specific type of person and if you're not that type of person then you'll probably hate it.
I was going to read Vampire Academy next but it hadn't arrived at the library and I panicked. So I picked up two random books on my "To Be Read" list. One of them was Uglies (which I only just started) and the other one was The Perks of Being a Wallflower (which I read in two days). I don't think I've read any "real world" books for about a year. Since I read Lord of the Rings I've kind of gone on a fantasy and science fiction diet. But The Perks of Being a Wallflower was really good. So if you haven't read it yet because, like me, you find realistic fiction kind of boring, or for some other reason, I suggest you try it out. It surprised me in a good way.
