    John Green's Interests
GeneralWriting and reading, mostly. But I am also interested in: Boxing, child prodigies, conjoined twins, the state of Alabama, contemporary art, soccer, white wine, anagramming, last words, YA books, bluegrass music, Islam and the Islamic world, white wine, and books.
MusicI like bluegrass, mostly. But then sometimes I'll find myself in love with a band that is definitely not bluegrass, like the Mr. T Experience, or Old Crow Medicine Show, or Neutral Milk Hotel, or Bonnie Prince Billy. Mostly I like songs. Current favorite: "Jackson" (as sung by Mr. and Mrs. Cash, not as sung by Ms. Witherspoon and Mr. Phoenix)
MoviesWell, if Paramount makes "Looking for Alaska," I believe I'll be contractually obligated to call it my favorite.
Television
BooksWell, this is going to be long. Okay, let's just do it in categories:
DEAD PEOPLE:
Mark Twain
Zora Neale Hurston
Faulkner
Fitzgerald
Joyce
Capote
Robert Penn Warren
Walker Percy

Eudora Welty

NOT DEAD PEOPLE: Richard Powers

   John Green's Blurbs
About me:
I'm the author of the novels "Looking for Alaska" (which won the Printz Award in 2006), "An Abundance of Katherines" (which was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize in 2007), and "Paper Towns" (which was a New York Times bestseller and won a 2009 Edgar Award).

I am also the co-creator, with my brother Hank, of the improbably popular videoblog-based celebration of intellectualism and Peeps known as Nerdfighteria.

Now, to the frequent questions:

1. Yes, this is my real myspace. (I am flattered by the idea that someone would go through the trouble of creating a fake myspace.)

2. I do not do a good job of responding to messages or friend requests. Sorry! I will try to get better, but myspace is kind of LOUD and BUSY and TERRIFYING and that is why I mostly use facebook.

Who I'd like to meet:
J. D. Salinger. But I tend to doubt he has a myspace.

UPDATE: Hmmm . . . MySpace didn't like the tiny-URLs I was using in my previous comment. Here is my post again: this time using the full web address.

Hi John! Thank you so much for your recent blog post in support of Ohio libraries. If the proposed 50% cut in funding is allowed to pass, many libraries will be forced to close, while the others will have a severe reduction in hours and services. Only a public outcry can turn the tide. Contact your Ohio legislator today!

Well, spring is finally here, and my book release is less than three months away! Please join my email list (see front pg. of www.jjhebert.net) to receive my awesome newsletter, which I use to keep subscribers informed about giveaways, contests, book releases, and other stuff, like most recently--an announcement that UNCONVENTIONAL will not only be released as a paperback in July but also as a free serialized podcast, narrated by Jeff Kafer, an award-winning voice over artist! That's right, you'll be able to listen to each episode (i.e. three chapters) at podiobooks.com, jjhebert.net, and/or via your iPod. I hope you enjoy it!

I enjoyed reading Paper Towns so much. I read it in one night. (Just like I did with Alaska and Katherines!)
Have a wonderful Easter weekend!!

If Bakersfield can get Magic Johnson to sign his book at Borders, then I think we should be able to get John Green.

Hey just letting you know I ordered Paper Towns all the way to Australia since they haven't stocked it here.

The best birthday present from me to me I'm sure! :D

As you may or may not know, my birthday is coming up on the 29th. Instead of gifts this year, I'm asking that everyone join my Email List on www. jjhebert. net. Unconventional, my newest novel, will be published by Mindstir Media later this year, and joining the Email List will ensure that you receive updates regarding my book release, contests, giveaways, and more.

Just finished Paper Towns and wanted to attempt to convey how awestruck I am by its staggering brilliance. It is a thing of beauty and truth. Perfection.

I really enjoyed your videos about The Catcher in the Rye.
And all of them, I suppose.
