Yeah, oh my god, you should really just read it just so you know what everyone else is talking about, it's like a freaking pop culture footnote now. Or cornerstone, if you really want to give it any credit at all. I didn't like them at all but you know, if you go to high school with a bunch of brats who have read it and are all into that sort of thing you become Social Pariah Number One if you don't know!
