Read all the books, listen to all the songs and watch all the movies mentioned in "The Perks of being a Wallflower"

Finished On the Road last night, have to say it is now one of my favourite books ever, I absolutly LOVED it. I want to go on a road trip so bad!!! Just amazing.

Reading On The Road, so far, it’s brilliant

watched the dead poets society

About to read The Great Gatspy, Scott Fitzgereld

onto books next…

DOwnloaded all the songs except Dusk – Genesis. Impossible to download. Ah well. I listened to a bit of it on YouTube. So now I have my playlist of the songs of the “One Winter” tape that Charlie makes Patrick. And of the others mentioned.
Gypsy is such an amazing song, I’ve been playing it on repeat (I finally worked how to do that on iTunes)

“Oh Hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
and let me hear you through the heat”

I also like Landslide and of course Another brick in the wall and Smells like teen spirit.

Gyspsy is a wonderful song!! I like it ALOT. But i have to say I’m not the biggest fan of Asleep.. Charlie’s favourite song. It’s a depressing song and has a boring melody!! :( sorry charlie!

Last but not least, the books. For me tis goal is mostly about the books. These are all the books that Bill gives Charlie to read

To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
This Side Of Paradise – F Scott Fitzgereld
Peter Pan – J. M. Barrie ( I don’t want to read this one, I saw the movie and it scared the crap out of me, so surely that counts)
The Great Gatspy – F Scott Fitzgerald
A Seperate Peace – John Knoweles
The Catcher in The Rye – J. D. Salinger (read. What an amazing book, one of my all time favourites, and I think The Perks of Being a wallflower was POSSIBLY better)
On the Road – Jack Kerouac
Naked Lunch – William S, Burroughs
Walden – Henrey David Thoreau
Hamlet = William Shakespeare
The Stranger – Albet Camus
Fountainhead – Ayn Rand
