Omnivoracious
Paper Towns was an Omnivoracious Daily Crush yesterday, complete with a very thoughtful and kind review. I know that Omnivoracious gets a daily crush on someone every day, but I still feel special.

"best gifts of a great YA book: it reminds you to leave all expectations of what you think you’re going to get at the door"
I could not agree more. Thank you John for nftba-ing.
My english class this year is called "exploring the human condition" and could better be known as "imaginging people more complexly" and paper towns is the perfect answer to the classes main points. So, I just wanted to say thanks for writing this awesome book.
John, I was procrastinating this evening on tackling some rather dull homework and was using StumbleUpon. Luck would have it I ran across this "Image" and nearly fell out of my seat. Your writing is moving enough to deserve one of those "quotes" images now.

I thought that was pretty damn awesome.
Question for your next Question Tuesday: Why are your Australian book covers different? They kind of seem a little less lack-lustre as compared to their American counterparts.
That review deserved paper Towns just as much as Paper Towns deserved it. I thought it was thoughtful too.
Congratulations, John!!!
Btw, there are some last words you mentioned in one of the vlogbrothers videos that went, "I divide my library amongst my friends," or something, and I'm wondering what the exact quote is and who said it.
Hey, John. I was looking for some kind of update on Famous Last Words & I stumbled across this:
