Si, como yo, frecuentas Tumblr, te habrás dado cuenta de que no puedes desplazarte mucho antes de toparte con algo como esto:\n \nLa novela epistolar de Stephen Chbosky, **Las Ventajas de Ser Invisible**, tiene algo de culto, y las citas que inundan Internet parecen casi himnos, dada la pasión con la que se re-bloguean, se citan, se estampan en fotografías artísticamente filtradas con luz y se les da \"me gusta\".Una generación parece haber adoptado **Las Ventajas de Ser Invisible**, y por exte...

Florero (sustantivo)Una persona tímida o reservada que permanece inadvertida en eventos sociales, especialmente una mujer sin pareja de baile Decidí leer este libro no porque fuera a salir una película pronto.Esa es una de las razones, pero tampoco es la principal.Quería leerlo porque la palabra "florero" me llamó la atención.Yo era un florero.Yo no era uno de esos niños a los que la gente nota inmediatamente.Yo era una de esas personas que se camuflan tan bien que ya no se notan.Yo era un "n...

I want to rip every single strand of hair out of my head using only my teeth

I don't even think I can truly convey how much I loved this book other than to say it was entirely life changing and I'm so upset it took me this long to read it.

Clueless. I am clueless. The popularity of this book baffles me even more than the popularity of The Fault in Our Stars. Maybe I really am just a coldhearted person with no feelings.Amazingly, I actually managed to start The Perks of Being a Wallflower knowing absolutely nothing about it. I've avoided all the reviews and hype over the years, I've purposely put off seeing the movie because I wanted to check out the book first. I knew nothing except that so many people LOVE this book. I was a bit ...

February 25, 2013Dear Charlie,I am writing to you because I feel like you're the only one that would listen to me right now. From all the friends that I have made you are the one that's the most understanding. I guess what I'm trying to do is thank you for being there for me these last couple of days. I didn't expect to learn from you as much as I have. My mom always says that you can never really understand a person until you walk in their shoes, but I guess getting to know you and reading your...

THIS BOOK ALWAYS BRINGS ME SO MANY FEELS. 3rd time re-reading it and I still feel infinite.

There may be a book in the world that can address, just within very few pages, suicide, molestation, domestic abuse, homosexuality, drug use, mental issues, first sexual experiences, rape, abortion, etc., and not sound like a Lifetime movie, but The Perks of Being a Wallflower is not an example of that. For me, the straw that broke the camel's back was when I realized that, to add to all of the above mentioned melodrama, the narrator was either emotionally or mentally handicapped. It appeared, C...

As much as people say it, this really is one of my favorite books of all time. MTV promoted it, it got a lot of press, so many people shun it and say it is overrated. I disagree.I didn't read this book until last year, when I turned 21. My boyfriend owned it, it seemed like a quick read, and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.Main character Charlie is loveable from the first sentence out of his mouth. There are endless quoteable quotes in this book that had me folding the page over so I...
