Laughing my ass off at you seething assblasted pussies. How does it feel knowing this man is happier, richer, more successful and more fulfilled than you could ever hope to be in your bitter, envious rage?

It's really quite sad. Green is a successful writer, entrepreneur, and respected personality with a wide-reaching audience. His endeavors are global, and his prose remarkably endearing and relevant, long ago having surpassed that of David Foster Wallace. What's not to live for?

Give me a quick rundown of all the highlights of John's newest book. His first since 2012, I'm sure it's good.

Daily reminder that John Green refers to his wife as "The Yeti" in his YouTube videos.

Wrong book. Here's a Fault in our Stars excerpt.

>"Why are breakfast foods breakfast foods?" I asked them. "Like, why don't we have curry for breakfast food?"
>"Hazel, eat."
>"But why?" I asked. "I mean, seriously: How did scrambled eggs get stuck in with breakfast exclusivity? You can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. But the moment your sandwich has eggs, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich."
>Dad answered with his mouth full. "When you come back, we'll have breakfast for dinner. Deal?"
>"I don't want to have 'breakfast for dinner,'" I answered, crossing knife and fork over my mostly full plate. "I want to have scrambled eggs for dinner without this ridiculous construction that a scrambled eggs-inclusive meal is breakfast even when it occurs at dinnertime."
>"You've gotta pick your battles in this world, Hazel," my mom said. "But if this is the issue you want to champion, we stand behind you."
>"Quite a bit behind you," my dad added, and Mom laughed.
>Anyway, I knew it was stupid, but I felt kind of bad for scrambled eggs.

Do we still hate him, or has he redeemed himself?

Very young girls are the target audience. This book is even being taught in high school literature courses. It's really disturbing.

>he said, posting a thread with not just one but FOUR (4) (their most accomplished album) images of John Green's head

You first :^)

I really liked his CC world histroy 1&2 series. But yeah his "patriarchy" stuff is absolutely annoying.

Still, he is a millionaire who has teens wordwide beg for his dick so there's that.

I challenge anyone in this thread to prove that Graham Harman isn't an opportunistic wannabe who's been playing this stupid con off for years.

>Wrote the Fault In Our Stars
>Came up with the Nobel-Prize-worthy Cheerios analogy
>Made Crash Course, the Youtube channel that renders college useless
Truly the greatest thinker of our generation. He is my hero

>implying John Green isn't where the memes are at now
He's still writing, making videos, putting his opinion out there. Same can't be said for that patio deck ornament. I think John Green, memes or not, is here to stay. Some of his stuff even has value, which sadly most of /lit/ refuses to see through their blind bias.

>not marketing yourself on social media
>not shilling your book in every second video
>not marketing to the right crowd, one that will appreciated your work and support you in future endeavours

Reminder that Green is published and critically acclaimed, and also a bestseller.

Reminder that if you're bashing his work, you're nothing but a pretentious shrill child, infuriated at his success, thinking your opinion is worth more than the consensus.

Reminder that he has a wife and children, while you have nothing, save for maybe a (useless) degree and some checkmarks on your reading list.

Daily reminder that John Green is a millionaire who has thousands of 18 year old girls begging him to choke on his cock

>“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

>"Augustus," I said.

>"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

why is he such a hack?
