+145 After reading a book by John Green, a lot of the stuff going on in your life seems incredibly trivial, amirite?

My thoughts exactly. John Green's my favorite author. :) (DFTBA!)

Mine too. All of his books are so thought provoking. Which one is your favorite?

The Fault in Our Stars, but Paper Towns is a really close second.

You stole the thoughts right out of my head. Everyone else I knew hated The Fault in Our Stars but I thought it was, excuse the trite cliche, a work of art

It's as though you can read my mind. xD As soon as I read it for the first time, it had become my all-time favorite book. The characters are just so completely relatable, and there are so many quotes that are unbelievably fantastic, such as, "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."

My favorite is "You're arguing that the fragile, rare thing is beautiful simply because it is fragile and rare. But that's a lie, and you know it."

Ooo, I love that one too. And, of course, let us not forget, "That's the thing about pain. It demands to be felt" and "There is no honor is dying /of/."

The required reading for incoming juniors this year is Looking For Alaska... I'm SO pissed; we had to read Walden for ours -.-

That just means that you can read it on your own time without the over-analysis that always comes with reading books in class :)

Oh I've already read it like twice hahaha I'm just mad that I had to read Walden when I was an incoming junior but the next incoming juniors get a much better book. I spent my entire summer trying to drag myself through it (and still never finished), but Looking For Alaska took me a couple days. I would actually have had time to myself, had that been the required reading at the time.

I've read Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines. Busy with Papertowns now, I really love it:) John Green is amazing!

You must read The Fault in Our Stars afterwards. It's amazing. I also suggest Will Grayson, Will Grayson, which he cowrote with David Levithian(I think that's how you spell his last name???)
