John Green: Author of Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines and Looking for Alaska

bookshelves of doom

The eleventh (more than halfway done, people!) stop of the "An Abundance of Katherines" blog tour takes us to bookshelves of doom, a great lit blog I visit a lot, where I participate in one of BOD's patented Super Duper Quickie interviews.

Here you will learn some damning facts about me, such as that I fear cotton balls, watch CSI: Miami, and overuse the word deadpanned.

The reading at the New Your Public Library last night was wonderful. 115 people came (well, I did not personally count, but I am told that 115 people came), and they were a great audience. And I was most impressed with everyone's reading, particulalry Leslie Margolis and Coe Booth, both of whom have just published their first novels.

By the way, should we or should we not try to track down the guys who made the hilarious and brilliant and great video trailer of Looking for Alaska so that we can send them a thank-you present? Could locating the creators of the "Looking for Alaska" video be the new lonelygirl15?!

When you're done with Six Easy Pieces (and good luck, it took me six not-so-easy weeks), you should try 'Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity' (DF Wallace). Best pop science/math book ever. And footnotes galore.

In that case (the case of you already being the DFW expert), I recommend 'Quantum Mechanics and Experience,' David Albert. Less flashy rhetoric, but plenty mind-blowing.

Leave the movie-makers be. If they wanted to be in touch with you, they would be. You're very easily findable.

This may, or may not be, your wife.

Though I am horrified at yet again being mistaken for a guy, yes. Don't forget about us folks in Maine.
