John Green - Author Event

John Green and his brother, Hank, were in Albuquerque last night (1/24), speaking to and performing for an enthusiastic crowd.  I recently read John's award-winning "Looking for Alaska" and  his latest book, "The Fault in Our Stars".
 A few paraphrased quotes from John:
"You can choose what you think about."
"No one quite gets to be who they want to be."  
"Young people are hungry for places to celebrate intellectualism and nerdiness."
"What constitutes a good life? How can you live a good life, despite the fact that we are not heroes acting on an epic scale?"
Thank you Alamosa Books for helping to bring John and Hank to Albuquerque!
