after all these years I'm still in love with this book.
My annotations: (SPOILERS!)
'So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be'. (p. 3)
'It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life'. (p. 26)
'Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve'. (p. 27)
'It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of Sam'. (p. 52)
