The fault in your booklist

On Jan. 10 acclaimed author, Nerdfighter deity, and Courant-tribute-recipient John Green published The Fault in our Stars. Since that fateful day, it has received universal praise from fellow writers and readers alike. Not to mention he signed every freakin’ copy, excluding a few like those at the high school library (my pre-order was signed in green sharpie. I smelled it immediately, like any totally normal person would.)

John Green: The Biggest Nerd of Them All

Though he is a New York Times best selling author, has been published in more than twelve languages, is the winner of the Michael L. Printz Award in 2006 and the Edgar Award in 2009, and was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist not once but twice, John Green is not widely known. Other authors such as J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer bring instant Potter and vampire connections to mind; but to many, John Green draws a blank. This up and coming author, however, is gaining speed and quickly making a name for himself in the young adult (YA) literature world.
