Three Important Announcements
1. For many many years, I have been in love with this photograph of Woody Guthrie, and I have always wanted a poster of it, but no such poster has ever existed. And then Sarah, being super-amazing, bought an 8 x 10 of the photo from Woody Guthrie's estate and then blew it up into an awesome poster, and now I am so happy.
2. If I am not mistaken, the paperback version of Looking for Alaska is going to be in stores starting whereabouts of today. You should really consider buying the paperback, because 1. it is quite inexpensive, and 2. it is portable, and 3. several errors have been fixed.
3. The other big thing I got for Christmas this year is a camcorder, which may be important to readers of this blog for the following reason: If everything goes according to plan, this blog is going to become less textual and more video-ey in 2007, because my brother and I are doing this crazy and probably ill-advised project. More on that later.

Had you told us that the paperback version of Alaska was coming out? How did I miss this memo? I just bought so many copies for fam & friends for Christmas!! Oh well, your Gatorade obession will thank me later I guess.
I just stumbled onto your blog so that I could tell you that I finished reading LFA a few minutes ago. I've read over 300 YAs in the last 2 years and this is hands down the best one I've read since whenever it was I felt like this last (and I can't remember exactly because I've read so many, but it's been a long, long time since I loved a book this much). Anyway, I bought the paperback when I was in England, which is kind of ironic since I live here in the South (TN). By the way, they missed correcting a couple of typos in the British paperback, but nothing major. Thanks for a great read. I'll be looking for your other book and I mentioned this one on my blog (although since you're out in paperback and have won a bunch of awards, I'm a bit behind the curve!).
If I did something like that I would probably misspell 'fascist' - or whatever it was I was rebelling against. I had to use the dictionary twice just to make this comment w/o making a fool of myself. sigh.
I have also always loved that picture. I may have to follow Sarah's lead and get a poster of my very own.
"my brother and I are doing this crazy and probably ill-advised project."
Oh... how very wrong you were, John! :)
