by Ernest Cline

I am not sure why I didn't read this when it came out (maybe I thought it was fluff?) but I read this all in one gulp--it was that enjoyable!!!!

This was my favorite book for about three years after seeing the musical adaptation of the same name. The story is amazing, very adult and honest- something I loved when I was younger and which I still appreciate to this day.
