A daily blog by author John Green, winner of the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award for his debut work of fiction, "Looking for Alaska."
John's second novel, "An Abundance of Katherines," is now available at Amazon.com.
I really liked Sarah's January 15th suggestion for a challenge: making a vlog entry made up entirely of the Amazon SIPs of your favorite books. So I found out where they went - if you mouse over a book cover that has a "Search Inside" feature, it should list them as "Key Phrases-SIPs".
Incidentally, the SIPs for Katherines are "pink mansion," "tampon strings," "hog hunt," "pupillary sphincter," and "lee wells." Strangely, though, none are listed for Alaska.
Hehehe. Nanny-nanny-rich kid may have just surpassed Book Fighting as my favorite Brotherhood 2.0 moment. And yes!! TEAM PAM ALL THE WAY!! Puppies, and goodness, and light prevail yet again!
I work in the rich area of Boston as a librarian. I think I will be singing "Nanny-Nanny-Rich Kid" at work today. Of course I will have to add a verse for "teenage runaway-homeless guy!-homeless guy!"
"Communication" is spelled wrong in the beginning little intro. Sorry for pointing that out. I'm one of those annoying people who cringe at the sight of the phrase "your cute."
I am highly amused by the nanny-nanny-rich-kid montage.
ReplyDeleteYour face is definitely looking thinner than when you started, so I'm not surprised by your success.
ReplyDeleteThe music video was excellent. But when are you doing 500 Miles?

ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I really, really wish I had a bookshelf that big. Then I wouldnt have to keep stacks of books under my bed.
I am having bookshelf envy.

Also, the face Jim made after Andy punched the wall was priceless.
Was "Nanny, Nanny, Rich Kid" inspired by the oddly addictive, ever-delightful Llama song?
