John Green - Looking for Alaska ⭐⭐⭐
First drink. First prank. First friend. First love. Last words.
Miles Halter is fascinated by famous last words--and tired of his safe life at home. He leaves for boarding school to seek what the dying poet Fran ois Rabelais called the "Great Perhaps." Much awaits Miles at Culver Creek, including Alaska Young, who will pull Miles into her labyrinth and catapult him into the Great Perhaps. My thoughts on the book: The book was well written and the characters were all somewhat likeable. I do think I would have liked the book more if I hadn't seen the series first.

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia... 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.”
~ John Green, Looking for Alaska

How did this man have a hand in creating The O.C, Chuck, Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, The Runaways, The Carrie Diaries, and Looking for Alaska. He lives inside our brains whether we want him to or not.
"But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail."
