I remember that after reading one novel by him, I&#8217;d ended up reading all the rest in a short time. I remember the time when I didn&#8217;t know how to cry over the deaths of fictional characters. I remember the time when my only worry was to get a happy ending. I remember the time when I hadn&#8217;t read the master of Young Adult literature. But my life after having read all his novels is so much better. I feel like he puts the harsh reality, the ugly truth and unspoken acts in his novels giving them an edge. Now that I&#8217;ve read all his books, I can say that he is my favourite author and I&#8217;m a proud nerdfighter.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Last year I had celebrated his birthday by watching his vlogbrother videos for hours. It was knowledgeable, fun and hilarious. This year, I read some of the quotes from his novels and here I am writing about him. You can take up any quote and ponder over it for a while. It&#8217;s so genious and thought provoking. His novels portray this light which just adds to my knowledge every time I re-read them. And obviously, I cannot wait for his next novel.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-1_qFnUPSeME\/VdtEPeBl5PI\/AAAAAAAAKtg\/_VJhFWTDScs\/s1600\/1497454_10203153697386527_929996960911170439_n.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-1_qFnUPSeME\/VdtEPeBl5PI\/AAAAAAAAKtg\/_VJhFWTDScs\/s400\/1497454_10203153697386527_929996960911170439_n.jpg?resize=400%2C400\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.6666660308838px;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &#8216;Looking for Alaska&#8217; got me thinking about people and their real side. I thought about the&nbsp;labyrinth&nbsp;of suffering as if it was some scientific theory. &#8216;The Fault in our Stars&#8217; gave me too much to think about. I wondered about tragedy, cancer and love. &#8216;Paper Towns&#8217; brought back my wanderlust soul. It taught me the importance of friends. &#8216;Let it Snow&#8217; was just a wonderful love story trio which I enjoyed reading. &#8216;Will Grayson, Will Grayson&#8217; had quite an eccentric story. &#8216;An Abundance of&nbsp;Katherines&#8217; made me wonder about the beautiful mess of individuals. There&#8217;s&nbsp;not just one thing you can learn; there are hundreds.
