I honestly don't know why i love SBM so much either. You wouldn't think a grown woman (and I was pretty old when I first saw it too - like i was late teens, so it had nothing to do with "being part of my childhood" or anything) would really find something to relate to in a story that is purely about these pre-pubescent boys. I think I just love the purity of the storytelling. it doesn't have a huge, complicated fancy-pants plot. It is about nothing but its characters, and they are some really unique, charming and authentic characters (plus the book is pretty darn good too).

am gonna watch Now and Then this weekend when i get time. :)
