Have you heard that Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower is being made into a movie?

If you haven't read the popular storyl, it's told through letters, written by Charlie, reveling the story of his freshman year in high school as he copes with tragedy, confusion, love, loss, and coming-of-age trials.
