The Perks of Being a Wallflower

it seems fitting that i should be here about to blog my thoughts on the perks of being a wallflower while listening to the new our lady peace CD.  all i need is a glass of wine.  [okay, i have corrected the wine oversight.  the blogging can now continue.] so, now that i'm done with this book, i have to admit that it's absolutely fantastic, though i had no idea what heavy issues it deals with.  but i think my students will still like it and at least i know there will be a ton of stuff to talk about.  and yet one question that really remains unanswered for me...what are the perks of being a wallflower?  i'm hoping that my students will have lots of creative and insightful answers to this question.  i'm actually finding it hard to blog about the book because i feel like i'm going to give everything away to people who haven't read it and that's hardly fair!
