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.Details
