Okay, one last one...
I'm actually 20, and I've read the book six times. I read it twice when I got it. For me the book and movie both pretty much distill how I feel about the baby boom generation, especially the 60s Survivors, who never seem to stop whining. I don't want to clean up THEIR goddamn mess, and that goes for environmental, cultural, economical and political, among other messes the bastards have left behind for us to clean up. To say that I'm unhappy that some of my paycheck is going to pay for designer water bowls for their cats is an understatement.
But the book and the movie come to very different places on this issue, although I won't lay out my opinion about that here. I think the book does come to a more reasonable and livable conclusion than the movie.
