...and I don't want the world to know about it. Is this wrong to fall in love with a book? I want to do a screenplay for this book. I think this can't even turn into a movie, but I think this is where the charm is: unscriptable.

Can't tell you the title. I'm so selfish.

If you don't want anyone to know, don't post it on an internet forum.  That's rule number 3.

@avery: I think we're supposed to beg and plead to know what book this is. I would do it but I don't give a shit.

I would, but then she might tell me. I like Jen and if she has fallen in love with New Moon I might think less of her.

We're all in agreement.

I'm just going to guess it is 50 Shades of Grey and leave it at that.

Isn't it nice when we can all get along, though?

You know it is Bek. I was sort of hoping we'd find something to agree on besides the W.B.C. being insane.

Have you consummated your love?  Pics or it didn't happen (internet rule #24).

Sorry folks!

Was going to change this discussion in the morning, but I forgot that some are on Eastern Standard Time, plus I got busy at work.

The book is Every Day by David Levithan. It just came out yesterday, but had read a review on it last Sunday's edition of the New York Times. It was a fun read, young adult, which makes me feel like a childish Asian that's 30 years old. I wrote the above message before I finished the book. The ending was expected, but I wanted to deny myself that it happened. I wished that there would have been a better solution. Now I am just giving my copy away and not keeping it a secret anymore. This book made me think about what motivates someone to go crazy for a story. Getting the book was an adventure in itself. It's not a big-name story like 50 Shades. For the record, I did peak at that, and with disgust, I walked away from them. I deserve a pat on the back, maybe.

And Dwayne, please think less of me because I really did like New Moon. My favorite is Breaking Dawn, but I've realized that it's like my Jewel and Britney Spears crushes, a thing of the past. Would you think less of me now because of my past?

 

So is reading my post cheating on the book?

I said I was in love with the book, and it's one-sided, the book doesn't love me in return yet.

 

If you don't want anyone to know, don't post it on an internet forum.

I think I was a torn fan, not knowing what to do. I make a huge hype for my love obsession with a particular book. My apologies.

 

Have you consummated your love?

Yes, I made love to it like the woman it should have been. Sadly no pics, so there is no proof. I've changed my answer to no. No, final answer.

It's wonderful when that happens, as long as you aren't simultaneously embarrassed by what you fell in love with. Bringing Out the Dead is that book for me. And film. I love them both.

@Bryan - Do you mean Rule #34?

I'm not sure, but I think #34 states if it exists there is porn of it. No exceptions.  I'm going of 4chan's rules of the internet.

I was calling rule #34 in anticipation of the pictures appearing.  At which point both rules #24 and #34 would be fulfilled - and probably a number of LitReactor rules broken.
