1. I have shared this link with a couple of my other posts but it is my favorite one of all because it comes from none other than JOHN GREEN HIMSELF! This is his website/blog and he answers question on question on Looking for Alaska as well as allowing you to ask questions as well! You can also find out more information about his other works, and a short biography on the man of the hour.

2. So the second link I would like to share is a video on YouTube by John Green. John Green and his brother Hank Green have a YouTube channel called "vlogbrothers." On this the brothers, at separate times and mostly John Green, talk about things from books to pizza to other random things. On this video though, John Green tells about winning the Printz Award for Looking for Alaska as well as talking about how it was created, published and edited. Don't worry, there's no spoilers and it's not boring, although John Green is a little geeky.

3. Here are some of my favorite quotes from Looking for Alaska. John Green has named himself one of my favorite authors with his way to manipulate words, how brilliantly he inserts tone into his writing, and how carefully he crafts the theme and plot to link together just so.
