It is such a cool story! Very different, and nice to see a girl main character kicking ass all over the book without being anybody's love interest.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I shared this on FB, but it probably belongs here too.
John Green does a little video love letter to our alma mater Kenyon College.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I'm almost through _Paper Towns_ by John Green and loving it.

I keep meaning to read more John Green, but The Fault in Our Stars ruined my day and then some with all the tears, and so I'm hesitant. However I feel like there is no way anything he's ever written or will write could possibly be sadder.
What is Paper Towns about?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just finished it last week! I liked it, but not as much as The Fault in Our Stars or An Abundance of Katherines. I'm in the middle of Will Grayson, Will Grayson right now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Pretty sure Jilli NEEDS to own this.

Hey. New board.
However I feel like there is no way anything he's ever written or will write could possibly be sadder.
I just started The Fault In Our Stars, but several of his book are not even sad a little bit. An Abundance of Katherines and Will Grayson, Will Grayson are both mostly happy times. And good!

Searching for Margot. Hah. Yup, pretty much. High school non entity/dweeb pursues elusive dream girl and realizes stuff about humanity and life and stuff.
