I’m a huge fan of John Green’s books [2] and a little geeky about John Green [3] in general. I’m certainly not the only person who feels this way: NPR just released a list of the Best Young Adult Novels [4] and he’s in the Top 100 five times. If you’ve already read everything John Green has written or just happen to be waiting for a copy of The Fault in Our Stars [5], you might consider checking out one of these. What do you recommend?
