I love John Green's books. Is it because of the cool, complex teenage girls? Or the funny, loyal and interesting guys? Is it because the diolauge is sharp and makes me laugh out loud? Or that no one in his stories are a YA novel cliche? Or maybe its because he lives in Indiana...where I am from. Nevertheless, John Green is an author you must check out. (and you should check him out on You Tube)
John's reading list is tragically short. But he just started! So I should give him a break. The plus side is that you could defenitely read all of his books this summer*:
Looking for Alaska: "Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words--and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Francois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young. Clever, funny, screwed-up, and dead sexy, Alaska will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. "
An Abundence of Katherines: "When it comes to relationships, everyone has a type. Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. He has dated--and been dumped by--19 Katherines. In the wake of The K-19 Debacle, Colin--an anagram-obsessed washed-up child prodigy--heads out on a road trip with his overweight, Judge Judy-loving friend Hassan. With 10,000 dollars in his pocket and a feral hog on his trail, Colin is on a mission to prove a mathematical theorem he hopes will predict the future of any relationship (and conceivably win the girl). "
Paper Towns: "Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life--dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge--he follows.
After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues--and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew. "

***Yes! I copied the book blurbs from the website. I know it! But John Green can write blurbs way better than I can*******
