Paper Towns

So i bought this book off amazon basically cause the guy who wrote it does these you tube videos that are thoroughly entertaining and nerdish, which is always good.

The Book came today and i have not put it down, 257/305 pages later, this is my new favourite book. OK American Gods, Shades of Grey, Nation and a bunch of others will probably recover there previous spots over time but ATM, this book hits home.

Some choice quotes will go here in 48 pages and however long it takes to skim through the whole book for said choice quotes.

Wish I'd had this idea at the start of the day, it most definitely would have been easier....

1:I saw your mom kiss you on the cheek this morning, and forgive me, but i swear to God I was like, man, I wish I was Q. And also, I wish my cheeks had penises.
2:ITS NOT MY FAULT MY PARENTS OWN THE WORLDS LARGEST COLLECTION OF BLACK SANTA'S!
3:"oh don't blame me," my dad said. "you're just sublimating your own frustration with my income."
"Isn't that snap analysis a tad passive-aggressive?" my mother asked
"Aren't rhetorical; accusations of passive aggression inherently passive aggressive?"
4: This is a long one
Do you guys remember that time when we were all definitely going to die and then Ben grabbed the steering wheel and dodged a ginormous freaking cow and spun the car like the teacups at Disney World and we didn't die?"
5:A little bit later
"let's play metaphysical I spy," Lacey says. "I spy with my little eye a hero's heart, a heart that beats not for itself but for all humanity."
"I'M NOT BEING MODEST. I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO DIE," Ben exclaims.
"Do you remember that one time, in the minivan, twenty minutes ago, that we somehow didn't die?"
6:"I think you should be official stuff namer."

Ye so i gave up this exercise about 50 pages from the beginning and 50 from the end. Turns out its hard to go through a book immediately after you've finished it? Also why do three of my favourite books involve guys trying to get wonderfully weird girls, who then get them and almost immediately lose them for reasons they fundamentally both agree with?



also, distraction! distraction!
from what you ask? If i tell you it wouldn't be a distraction!
