The Outsiders




"As I walked out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie theatre..." my favourite opening to a book ever. I just love it. I've seen it and heard that line so many times in different variations...this book is amazing. From names like Pony Boy and Soda Pop...to a poem by Robert Frost. I love the idea of two best friends reading Gone with the Wind to each other. I love Dallas and how he isnt scared...and yet so scared. Tuff. I love the time it takes place. I love the knives and the greasy hair. And I love its innocence. Rebels without A Cause. This one is in my top ten. I've read it more than anything else.
