This evening, I finished reading The Fault In Our Stars. I began the book prepared to be impressed by the standard of John Green’s writing, while also accepting the fact that it would be a tragic story which would in all likelihood cause me to shed a tear or two. I’ve ended the book thoroughly in awe of Green’s storytelling capabilities, while simultaneously bemoaning the cruelty of existence. Two things I learnt while reading tfios: 1) that consciousness might just be the cruelest fate that humanity has ever been doomed to, and 2) that my mascara is not, as its packaging otherwise suggests, waterproof.

The VlogBrothers and their Nerdfighters followers are reading Fahrenheit 451 for a Nerdfighter book club! Join along!
This book broke my heart and made me nostalgic for moments I’ve never experienced. You CANNOT read ahead or have any clue what it’s about before you read it, you must let it move you spontaneously.

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.Alaska from Looking For Alaska by John Green (via skankyourart)
