I just finished reading the book "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. The two main reasons why I read this was because I wanted to read it before I saw the movie, and the school district my mom works at banned this book form the library. She came home with about ten copies of this book and told me to take one. Due to the fact that about half of the sentences have the "F" word in it, I don't think it is a wise move to share a quote, but I will describe a moment in the book I liked.
Nick is sitting on the street curb as Norah is leaving in a cab, and Dev sits down to talk with him. To try and lift Nick's spirit up a bit, he describes how the Beatles "nailed it". Dev said the Beatles didn't care about living the fantasy life, that they knew what they were doing. The Beatles made it so big because of their first single, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". Dev continued by saying The Beatles nailed it because that is what everyone wants, to hold your hand, and every successful love song in the past 50 years is traced back to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". (Pg 118)
This is my favorite part in the book, but I'm not sure why. It might be cause I love the song they are talking about, but I think it's mostly because it's so fundamental. It is something that everyone has, that feeling of simply wanting to hold hands.
