Anyway, as he was about to go off to the exhibits, I got my wits about me and asked if I could get a picture with him. Couldn’t think of much to say after that.
Did I tell him I think he’s a brilliant writer? No, I said I follow his blog. I tried to think of clever things to say. I said, “You’re John Green!” and he graciously conceded that he was. The exhibits had just opened, and I was frantically grabbing free advance copies of books. Though the funny thing about reading his books is that I always hear the main character in my head speaking with John Green’s voice, since I’ve heard him so much on the internet.Īnyway, I was four chapters into his latest book (written in alternating chapters with David Levithan), when I went to the 2010 American Library Association Annual Conference in Washington DC. So I thoroughly admire John Green as an author. Of course, I also read An Abundance of Katherines, Let It Snow, and my favorite, Paper Towns. I was won over by hearing him speak about his Printz Honor Winning book Abundance of Katherines three years ago at ALA Annual Conference, and then completely hooked when I started watching his and his brother’s daily video blog through 2007.
I confess I probably wouldn’t have read Will Grayson, Will Grayson if I weren’t such a huge John Green fan.
