Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading Book

I picked this up just meaning to dip into it before returning to my other reading, but then found myself gorging on the whole thing -- it felt like eating a whole bag of chocolate chip cookies in one sitting. The online origins of this book show through in the superabundance of exclamation points and bold face type, and in a certain slapdash style, but I shouldn't complain too much as I did enjoy it immensely. I didn't entirely relate to the subtitle of the book ("the Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading"). Judy Blume is over-represented in my opinion, and I have always been able to stop reading her books with no difficulty at all. But I loved reading Skurnick's thoughts on many of my old favorites; it was like having a conversation with a like-minded friend, which is really what I want from this kind of book.
