0 Friday, I'm in Love ... With John Green!


I don't think I'll ever stop saying that John Green is absolutely my favorite author.
Because he is.  Duh.

I found John Green's books my senior year, and had to get An Abundance of Katherines through inter-library loan.  It was my first Green book, but it was worth the wait (and the rush to the library to pick it up before they closed that Friday).  I dove headfirst into the book while Dan and I were at dinner that night, and while it's not my favorite book of his, I absolutely still love it.  After reading it, I did what I could to read the rest of his books.  I bought Paper Towns, and read that second.  It's an amusing coincidence, seeing as it's my second favorite book of his.
My favorite, though, I read last.  It was like the Fates saved it for me.
Looking for Alaska.
The magical book that had me reading it whenever I could, even sitting in the car with Dan for a few minutes after we got home one day, my mouth hanging open as I read, and then I burst out laughing in total shock.
It was a good time, and I finally just got my own copy of it for Christmas from Dan.
And, of course, leave it to me to fall in love with a book that is, apparently, hardcore porn.  (I wish you could see the face I made when I first found out about that.)

But I don't just love him as an author.  I also love him as a YouTuber!  I've posted his videos more than once on here, because I love them and they make me laugh (and so does his brother, Hank).  He has the perfectly nerdy sense of humor.
Besides, who wouldn't love a person with a fascination for conjoined twins?
