I recently read John Green's debut novel which was published in 2005, and was blown away. Looking For Alaska is one of the best books, EVAR! xD But, this wouldn't be a good thread if it didn't have a shameless plug, so I'm inviting you all to go read my review and then bloody buy the book or else. That's the only John Green book I've read so far, although I WILL be reading every single one to date (Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines, Will Grayson Will Grayson). Any of you guys read any of these?

Read everything he's written except Let it Snow and Zombicorns. But will remedy this soon. Yeah he's amazing. I watch him religiously on youtube as well.

Definitely Paper Towns. It's kinda like Looking for Alaska but you feel like the author knows a lot more now. An Abundance of Katherines is good and very funny but it seems less important than Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns. Will Grayson, Will Grayson was ok, but being co-written by David Levithan it was quite different; had a different tone to it.

I've read Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. I liked Paper Towns better, but I thought they were both good!

Yeah same. An Abundance of Katherine's is really funny, but Paper Towns is both funny and really meaningful imo.

Oh wow, these are actually really difficult to find in shops. Though I'm going to Dymocks in the city today, so hopefully I'll be able to pick up a copy of LfA there.

Yeah, most of them are not published by big names, and some aren't published in the UK at all so all you'll find are imports... shame really.

Yeah I get all my books off Amazon really so it doesn't matter to me so much whether they're published in my country or not.

I've giving up trying to find this in bookstores, so I've bought Looking for Alaska online. Now it will just take 2 weeks to get here -.-
