Why Australian Bands rock:

So I'm sitting in front of the computer thinking of what to do with myself because today, is rest day (I woke up at 2pm yay), and I'm not in the mood to play video games (wow), and I've no mood to start reading another book (though I really should continue 'Disgrace' which so far, is kind of interesting seeing how I stopped at where the main character's prostitute andor escort disappears, and start on the report. *homework, shit).
So this is what I do: I type out the sort-of-synopsis at the back of what may just be the best book I've read in my 17-year old life. It really is an awesome book! It was so good that I couldn't go to sleep till I finished the book after opening it (which took me about 4-5 hours? I slept at 2am). And it's the first book that gave me tears of joy (either that, or staying up late made me slightly delirious and over-emotional) when I got to the ending because it was just so good and I really wasn't expecting a happy ending but like a 'and so life is like this', kind of ending. you know, the Nicholas-Sparks-your-endings-are-so-cliché-and-anti-climaticish kind. But no, it was great. I think everyone should read this, really. And I think this might be as good or better than Harry Potter except that it isn't a series and there aren't any fantasy elements in it.
This isn't a book review but like what New York Times will always somehow squeeze this into their books, it steals your heart, makes you laugh and the ever-present a real pageturner. WHY IS THIS BOOK SO GOOD HUH?

Will Grayson, will grayson
What if you were somewhere you never expected to be, and met someone with your name?
What if the girl you didn't think you were interested in started being interested in you?
What if your best friend started writing a musical about your life... and it made you look lame?

What if you are depressed?
What if you're in love with someone you've never met?
And what is the story with the guy walking around with your name?
