Just finished Turtles All the Way Down by John Green.
Wow.
I’m just absolutely stunned and floored by how a book can be so beautiful. Regularly, regularly, regularly the kinds of lines that you want to hold onto, catalogue somehow, bookmark, write down and remember for their profundity. I don’t know how he did it. While reading it, I couldn’t help but think to myself — and not with shame or disappointment, but with awe — “I’ll never write anything this good.” While I’m typically not one for defeatist mindsets — and who knows where effort can get me — I can say I’m glad I get to read things that good, though.
I literally wish I could shake John Green’s hand and thank him. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. I do not remember the last time I couldn’t put a book down like that. ❤️
