A kind of review...
Looking For Alaska by John Green and Paper Towns, also by John Green, are basically the same book for me. Both have an intelligent male protaginist who isn't exactly the most popular guy in town. They're both full of wise little tidbits. (I went and highlighted my copy of Looking For Alaska, I couldn't resist.) Each main character is in love with the unattainable girl, and then he almost gets the girl, but the girl goes somewhere he can't follow. (Alaska dies, and Margo runs away.) They each go on this huge quest type of thing. For Pudge it's about finding out what happened to Alaska and for Quentin it's about literally finding Margo.
I was really unhappy with the lack of new material, because I think John Green can do better than that. Alone, it's quite a good book, but compare it to LfA and I'm repeatedly annoyed.
In another words, I have new sneakers, and they are cool, but not cool enough for me to describe them.
In other other words, I love Skype the way other people love newborn babies. it's so much fun. There are lots of people from the ning there. I'm quite proud of myself for kind of starting it all, it's good fun, honestly, and you get to hear people's accents, which completely makes my day. They're so British/ Caribbean/ whatever else and amazing!
Done for today, I'll write a proper blog eventually.
Maybe.
