Hello, it's been a while and I don't really have much to say, but I wanted to talk about my favorite author today and some of the books he's written.
His name is John Green and he is an amazing writer. His books are beautiful and so well written. The stories he tells are, for lack of a better word, amazing and his way with words leaves me breathless at times.
My favorite one is his newest book called The Fault In Our Stars. It's about a girl named Hazel and a boy named Augustus who both have cancer, but it's not a "cancer book." The story is about Hazel and Augustus falling in love and going to see their favorite author who live in Amsterdam and oblivion and how life is never fair and that always doesn't last forever and sometimes it's better to just be okay.
The word okay sort of became their mantra like couples use the word always, because they knew they may not have an always. And Hazel was also worried about what would happen if she died. In her words she didn't want to be a grenade and destroy everything she loved when she finally went off. All Augustus wanted was to be remembered. He wanted to leave his mark on the world.
Another of my favorites is Paper Towns. There's a quote from this book I really love which is, "Look at all these paper people in this paper town." To me it's basically about how the place you're from eventually begins to seem so fake and sometimes you just have to get out before you get sucked in.
The last one I want to talk about is Looking for Alaska. I've recently started to re-read this and it's a book that has a really great meaning behind it. My favorite quote from this book is "I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God." This book to me is about dealing with grief and how life can change in the blink of an eye.
There are several more books written by him and they are just as great, but these are my three favorite. His books are very meaningful and they require you to think while reading them, which I think is one of the best things about them. The books have so many amazing quotes in them that apply to a lot of different situations and that's another reason why I love them. They're the type of books you can read over and over again and still be excited about the ending.
Love,
Natalie
