An Abundance Of Reality

I have a series obsession with John Green and his works. That I admit. And I am not ashamed by it! I've bought a set of four of his books which include Looking For Alaska (Zoe you're still having my book. :p) , The Fault In Our Stars ,Paper Town and An Abundance Of Katherines. Which, brings us to today's post.

Think you guys know which book I am talking about judging from the title. Bingo, "An Abundance Of Katherines" There is something about what John Green brings to every book. In every sentence, every word he pens, there is something behind it. That sounded stupid. How about this, heard of "For every action, there is a reason" ? In this case, "For every word, there is a meaning" Still sounds stupid. It's just something that makes me want to read on. Never want to put the book down type.

John Green. He writes books that are so relatable. Take An Abundance Of Katherines for instance, it's about a kid, Colin, he's a prodigy (I'm not that) , but he's always doubting himself. Every time he is with someone , no matter his love (Katherines) or his friends ( Lindsay or Hassan ), he's always, "Does she love me just as I love her? / Am I a good friend?". Not to mention he includes facts from around the world such as Archduke Franz Ferdinand's death that triggered WWI, he also mentioned his personal life or George Hodel's obvious roles in the "Black Dahlia" murder cases. AND also his never ending magnificent quotes, "You can love someone so much. But you can never love people as much as you can miss them."

It is books like this, that made me regret not reading much when I was younger. I would pour out thousands of Lego pieces onto the carpeted floor, and build buildings after buildings for a good 7 hours straight. That was my life as a kid. I would not read a book back then. Heck, I wouldn't even touch the newspaper. And look at me now, sure, I read the news everyday, I try to read more storybooks, but I still regret not absorbing the wide wide knowledge of the world when I was younger.

That is my regret.
