Looking For Alaska by John Green.
The book was, well, I can relate. That’s it.

Thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.
Damn. I hate this. I love his books.
This.
The novel’s protagonist, who has an unusual interest in learning famous people’s last words. He goes to the boarding school Culver Creek in search of his own “Great Perhaps.” Tall and skinny, his friends at Culver ironically nickname him “Pudge.” He bears a sexual attraction to Alaska Young. He is frequently compared to Holden Caulfield of J.D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye
Of course, my favorite line from Looking for Alaska. I will never get tired of reading this. I recommend all of John Green’s book to all of you. Paper Town’s awesome too!
On my wish list, Paper Towns of my acceptable Favorite Author, John Green. I downloaded an eBook version, but of course, I’m not really contented with that. I need a tangible one.
This spoiler turned me on: Quentin Jacobsen, 17, has been in love with his next-door neighbor, Margo Roth Spiegelman, for his entire life. A leader at their Central Florida high school, she has carefully cultivated her badass image. Quentin is one of the smart kids. His parents are therapists and he is, above all things, “goddamned well adjusted.”
Enough, enough. I’m sad, cause I can’t find any John Green books in the local NBS. Maybe my foreign followers can buy me one or sheismargo can lend her copy. :) Jk.
It’s bound to be released this 2013. I can’t wait for the movie, or, I don’t want to be disappointed or what. Please, make it a beautiful one, since movie rights were sold to Paramount with Josh Schwartz (who created The O.C.) agreeing to write and direct the movie, I think I have to expect something.

I want to read An Abundance of Katherines.
I think I’m not a real fan of John Green. Kill me now.
From John Green’s newest site:
When it comes to relationships, everyone has a type. Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine. He has dated–and been dum ped 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).
An Abundance of Katherines was a 2007 Michael L. Printz Honor book and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. It was also named one of the books of the year byBooklist, Horn Book, and Kirkus.
Now I’m drooling to the floor. John Green books are so scarce here in the Philippines, I can’t wait. My sanity’s at stake.
