John Green's Interests
|
| General | Writing 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. | | Music | I 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) | | Movies | Well, if Paramount makes "Looking for Alaska," I believe I'll be contractually obligated to call it my favorite. | | Television | | | Books | Well, this is going to be long. Okay, let's just do it in categories:

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.
