SOMEDAY THIS PAIN WILL BE USEFUL TO YOU

PETER CAMERON
another book about a depressed teenage boy.
i picked this up as a joke because of the title, trying to get a buddy to read it (she doesn't read, i don't know what i was thinking). then i ended up reading it and actually really liking it.
did you know Grand Central Station is not a station?
it's Grand Central Terminal, so stop calling it a station!
that's what i learned from James. (the depressed kid)
he's about to start Brown after the summer (Brown was mentioned in Devilish too, omgz) (Brown is a college in Rhode Island)
but james doesn't want to go to college. and he makes some very interesting points, which now have me thinking...
in the front flap it says "sexual orientation (confusion thereof)" or something like that, and i'm like "oh great, he's gay." which of course, everyone asks him about.
oh! and he ran away in D.C.! exciting.
so this book was good, lots like Perks and Catcher, but different.
and a little depressing.
