Delightful. Beautifully written, often funny stories, interspersed with many excellent quotes and references to poetry. Subtle, surprisingly deep thoughts on certain topics. I feel there's a kind of recognition between people who spend a lot of time pondering why things are the way they are. It was nice to feel that here, in the midst of an eloquent turn of phrase that might be deeper than it first appears. I can't wait to read this again, and I'll probably return to particular essays as they come to mind. Glad I purchased this one.

I've never read any of John Green's other books (I mostly read nonfiction). I imagine they're excellent.
