John Green,
The Fault in Our Stars
So today i've come to talk to you about books. What are books? Thoughts written on to a peice of paper or notebook? A gathering of happenings constructed into long interesting sentances? No.
I believe books are our own minds, they are just guided by the authors. I garuntee, 100% of the time, when the author is writing the book, he thinks of the charactors completly different to ourselfs, and thats what makes me so excited, the fact that i'm reading my own thoughts and feelings, but they have been slightly structured by someone else.
I previeously read 'The Fault In Our Stars' a classic novel from the genious that is John Green. The book made me feel so different, gave me a new outlook upon life, which is weird, as everything used to be the same, now everywhere I look, I think about the person I happened to glance at. Who are they? Where are they going? How old are they? Call me weird but it's true. The world is different. It's almost as if you're in a third dimention.
Before I read TFIOS, I read 'The perks of being a wallflower' by Stephan Chbosky. It was wonderful. I learnt about so much through that book. It gave me a new music taste, an endless list of new books I needed to read and even more, it made me feel like Charlie (the main charactor) was me.
I guess i'm trying to say, books aren't just books, they're stories that are yet to be told.
Books I Suggest:
- The Fault In Our Stars - John Green
- The Perks Of Being A Wallflower - Stephan Chbosky
- Looking For Alaska - John Green
- Hunger Games - Suzzane Collins
- GeekHood - Andy Robb
- Basically any John Green books ^.^
