Alright so I'm new to this whole reading for pleasure thing. My gf convinced me to start with John Green and so far I'm loving his books, the dude knows how to write and I find myself relating a lot to his protagonists, especially Miles in Looking for Alaska. Anyway, I'm wondering where I go from here. I'm almost done with all John Green books and as great as they are they sometimes come across as a little juvenile. I want some books like his but a little more mature. Thanks

Someone has already mentioned DFW but that’s because its true, John Green is DFW without tangible substance, something that DFW himself struggled with.

John Green is a faggot. I hate his voice, I hate his face, and I hate his annoying fucking personality. I'd rather have my toenails ripped out of my feet and shoved up my piss pipe, with no lube, than read one word of any of his shitty ass books. OP, you are a faggot and your girlfriend is a tasteless whore. Dump her and kys.
