I think in order for us to continue making fun of John Green it is imperative that we actually read John Green, so what I'm proposing is a John Green read along. I have a copy of looking for Alaska at home (it's my gfs I swear (I would know I purchased it for her)) and I'd be willing to post a few pages a day to a thread. What do you lads think? Regardless of what you think I'm still going to do it. So come along and join in!

Looking for Alaska is imho a decent ya book imho, not great but among the endless slew of shit ya books it's one of the better ones.

tfios is the embodiment of cancer though.

How the fuck is she 13 and she looks like this? Do we need to lower the age of consent? I don't know if people realize this but most girls nowadays go through puberty at 10 and are fully sexually mature by age 12. Most attractive girls have sex with five different people by age 13 anyway, so why is the age of consent 18? Where does that number come from?

>> No.9100748

>>9100743
in a whole bunch of countries, it's 15-6, which is nowadays I think way more sensible. Going lower than that feels dangerous somehow.

On the internet I read that The Vatican has the lowest age of consent of the world with 12. It seems believable, but I have no sources to back this up other than my gut feeling and my memory. :P

TFIIOS is an alright YA book.
My Ex gifted it to me and I felt obliged to read it.
It's fine. It's not for me or my agegroup but comparing it to the drivel that is Twilight or something is unfair. It's fine for what it is, no one is claiming it's Moby fucking Dick.

It's like watching The Fast and The Furious and complaining that it isn't MacBeth.

I have no intention to ever read any YA books. You can easily avoid them.

As much as I hate that fuck and his distorted view of history this is a good idea. At least we can properly critique his work section by section if we do this. In fact this sounds like a good exercise for literary criticism.
