I'm currently reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower and An Abundance of Katherines. AT THE SAME TIME.
And brushing my teeth. But that's like, right this second.
I just had sudden inspiration to write this, because it's so amazing to read the two at the same time and have the chance to compare their perspectives. I normally try to read one book at a time, because I'm neurotic. So this is a big freaking deal, trust me.
And no spoilers. I swear.
In Perks, you have Charlie, who's got this incredibly, almost accidental, perceptive nature. And then you have Colin. Who's utterly ignorant toward anything even resembling perception because he's so focused on what could never be.
Intriguing, right? Being haunted by your future instead of your past. I can kind of relate.
It's almost a little unsettling reading about two people that are so different from eachother. It's like I have three separate personalities bouncing around in my head.
Including my own.
And it's odd that I chose to read these two books at the same time. They're so completely opposite. You'd think I would have chosen to read two different John Green books at the same time, or The Catcher in The Rye with Perks. But not me.
I'm seriously enjoying this whole new thing that's happening. I'm not even sure what's happening.
I'll keep you posted.
