>dude weed, lmao - JG

I want more numbers that I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I can not tell you thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.

>>6885017
>August read from his worn composition notebook. "There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul." The sound of Hazel's heartbeat on the monitor steadied and she smiled in response to his calm voice.

>Okay?
>Okay.

>>6885017
>focusing on things you hate
Is this an aspect of autism or what? Seriously, rethink your life.

>>6885017
>As I write this, my children are asleep in their room, Loretta Lynn is on the stereo, and my wife is out on a date with a man named Paulo. It’s her second date this week; her fourth this month so far. If it goes like the others, she’ll come home in the middle of the night, crawl into bed beside me, and tell me all about how she and Paulo had sex. I won’t explode with anger or seethe with resentment. I’ll tell her it’s a hot story and I’m glad she had fun. It’s hot because she’s excited, and I’m glad because I’m a feminist.

It's like a huge bastardization of that Dickinson poem.

>>6885114
You event got his writing style right.

>>6885114
dang dude, how much JG do you read? That was on point.

>They stared glared at one another. It was Shreve speaking, though save for the slight difference which the intervening degrees of latitude had inculcated in them (differences not in tone or pitch but of turns of phrase and usage of words), it might have been either of them and was in a sense both: both thinking as one, the voice which happened to be speaking the thought only the thinking become audible, vocal; the two of them creating between them, out of the rag-tag and bob-ends of old tales and talking, people who perhaps had never existed at all anywhere, who, shadows, were shadows not of flesh and blood which had lived and died but shadows in turn of what were (to one of them at least, to Shreve) shades too, quiet as the visible murmur of their vaporizing breath.

el oh el so gud m8 oh mah gawd imma pretend ive read him

Anybody else think John Green reads like a Wes Anderson movie? I fucking hate Wes Anderson. This trend of forced quirkiness in books is a bad meme and I want it to go away

It's from an actual article from an actual cuckold you retards

>>6885216

Top notch literary banter with some cheeky lads

>>6885330
The emphasis should be on "literary", tbh

>>6885114
>mfw I first read that article
>mfw I was so angry I can't even put my face on an image
That guy was beyond salvation, he should have gone full cuck or divorced her, not made that stupid story about "feminism" ane how he is not mad.

>>6885330
What's ur favorite /lit/ meme besides John Green I really like when people post a picture of Hegel and some meme philosophy and I also like Mr. Pinecone and the image related

>>6885387
top /lit/ memes:

1. he rapes his sister, phoebe
2. falsely attributed John Green pic/quote
3. shits on Aristotle, n/a but praise for aquinas?
4. >translation
5. stirnerposting
6. start with the greeks
7. christposting
8. What did s/he mean by this?
9. DFW in general

i just have a screencap

>>6885216
what? link please

>>6885491
>implying DFW isn't 4chan's second best meme ever

Can you guess what the first one is? Here's a hint: it's a big guy for you!!! :DDDDDDDDDD

>>6885491
>christposting
>a meme

However, debating whether christfaggorty is a meme is, itself, a meme

>>6885704
DFW was going to be at the top, but I was too lazy to go back and change every number when I thought to include it

>>6885730
>christposting
>not a meme

>>6885199

why are fedoras so angsty?

>That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on colour instead of taste.

>Do you think it matters how many people someone has slept with? No and it particularly bothers me that women are held to a different standard on this than men. Also, it's such a weird thing to care about. Like imagine if I started eating Cheerios for breakfast, would Cheerios be like, "I'm the 48th cereal you've tried eating?! I don't feel special!" Well then screw you, Cheerios. I can't go into the past and un-eat all those cereals, but that doesn't mean I don't genuinely enjoy your whole-grain crunch.

I love his women are comparable to cereal quotes.

>A screaming comes across the sky.

>>6886352
>but that doesn't mean I don't genuinely enjoy your whole-grain crunch.

I wish I could deconstruct this sentence fully. It's him, the core of his being. It's the smarmy capstone to a ridiculous, pandering sentiment. It's designed to be funny and give the whole thing a light-hearted slant, to let you know that he's a guy who'll stand up for what's right, but underneath it all he's fun-loving and cool.

But the line itself isn't funny. It's goofy. It's slightly surprising in that it raises the "fun" factor of the entire paragraph but it's cringe-worthy as hell.

Basically it's the carefully constructed output of pandermachine 2.0, John Green, who doesn't realize how old and pathetic and nearing 40 he really is. Sorry John, but you don't know what teenagers are like anymore, and hanging out with all the people starring in your shitty movies is not helping one bit.

Hell, you probably didn't know what teenagers were like back when you WERE one. I've seen pictures of his retarded looking ass, him and his brother look like turbogeeks who probably thought asking a girl out involved showing up to her house with a bouquet of fucking flowers and chocolates.

''Im a huge faggot. Literally. There's nothing metaphorical; I could ride cocks all day, reaching endless orgasms a day just like a woman. I'm also secretly OP.''

Cherrypicked. Why not Percy B. Shelley?

>>6887860
>seriously using a rhetorical term to argue against a meme
I bet you just call out "fallacy", like a faggot

>You put the metaphor in your mouth, but you don't say it.

>Gas the kikes, race war now! RaHoWa!

-John Green

ITS A METAPHOR!

I just saw Paper Towns with my friend

Predictable as shit, sappy as fuck. Best characters were the nerdy black kid and the skeezy guy who fuck's Cara's best friend.

my favorite part of the fault on our stars was when augustus was browsing /lit/ and he literaly dies inmediately
