Remember that people are made up of stars, our own celestial bodies, what comprises others incredibly out of reach yet twinkling in the distance, preconceived and premature, and yet we ourselves are made of the same cosmic dust-to-dust. Always remember, also, the universe was made by accident. And it all makes sense, because she is my sunbeam.

There is nothing to get. That's what separates John Green from proper literature. He chooses his metaphors, his descriptions, his characters, everything, to maximize quirkiness and differentness. I won't ascribe originality to him.
It's all skin deep, there is nothing more than what you read on the page.

>But Augustus, he was different. Oh I'd known boys who read a lot. Really I did. It was obvious though how reading books and feeling sorry for being so white and so deep was the only things these guys had going for them. Pity is what they wanted. Self-pity, pity from others, and the sort of sad, sorrowful books that justified making their lives into one long pity party [...] Not that these guys had any reason to feel sorry for themselves. They didn't have cancer, they hadn't had a leg amputated or a tumor removed or a heart broken without the prospect of it ever being fixed. Augustus had, and that's why he was different.

He actually unconsciously promotes mediocrity and shallowness of the scene he's part of, while thinking he makes some sense to adults. Some people never grow up. The fact that a grown man, A WRITER, can enjoy Twilight unironically tells you something.
I bet he takes himself super seriously and brags about his books and like, rents a house or an apartment in Paris or Rome looking for some divine inspiration as if he's Keats or Joyce and tries hard to befriend writers and poets but comes off as corny and worthless to all of them which in turns drives him to create a disdain for poor artists and real literature.

Really it's just low quality trash. There is nothing insanely bad about it.

What is bad is his attitude towards his own writing, which is independent of the writing itself. Stephen King writes much better than John Green, with much less pretension as well. And what's funny is that even though I'm reading nothing but literary fiction now, I still enjoyed the times I spent reading Stephen King, and would like to one day finish reading everything he's written. I would even recommend King to someone who wanted to learn how to describe small New England towns, however limited that would be. I would not recommend John Green to anyone for any reason.
>>
>>7662646
he's actually right about this though. people who lampoon Twilight are almost exclusively total retards who think Harry Potter is good literature.
>>
>>7664506
Except whether your point is true or not, that isn't the point he made. He's essentially saying that criticizing Twilight just means you hate love stories, or are just contrarian.

Oh okay, you're right. After reading the rest of the comments in this thread, I've decided to take the bandwagon effect as syllogism. His writing is actually shit, my mistake. Popular consensus has showed me the error in my ways.

Would it also be possible for you to delineate the types of personalities my favorite authors shouldn't have - so that I can more accurately decide the quality of their writing?

Many thanks!

But m80, Twilight is shit. You clearly haven't read it. The writing is piss poor, and poorly edited to boot. The characters lack depth, and somehow she doesn't even flesh out the main characters to any meaningful degree even though she had thousands of pages to do so.

I'm most disappointed that he's actually well educated in the Humanities yet writes such drivel. He's well-read and I've heard him make some great insightful comments on Ulysses for example. But he hero-worships DFW more than nearly anyone else, and seems to sincerely believe ridiculous things like writing YA is following in DFW's footsteps, it's needless pretension to try to write prose at a certain level, etc. Just goes to show that a good education on paper won't make you a good writer or able to objectively critique your own work.

But he's a multi-millionaire internet and book star, so he can do whatever stupid shit he wants I guess.

>>7665369
I reckon he could be a better writer if he challenged himself and actually tried to write a meaningful novel, but he took the easy root of making YouTube videos and writing YA because that's where the money is. Can't say I blame him.
>>
>>7665401
Except he never said that, read it again. He would never say anything of the sort, because he is one of the main beneficiaries of people's shite taste. How is he gonna make a living writing YA novels and then come out advocating for complex works of art? He'd be pissing all over his own corn-fla—I mean, cheerios.
>>
I've read two of his novels, LfA and FioS. He is no DFW, first of all. Pale King is better than anything he's written. He's not terrible and his books are geared towards YA readers, and he will forever stay there.
>>
>>7665423
I'm not agreeing with Green's point but the first anon. The first anon said that those who criticize that book often have shite themselves which I find to be true. Green is an idiot and none of his points make sense, especially blaming mysogyny for not liking that crap book.
>>
>>7665408
I mean, his first real attempt at a novel was solidly YA. It was decently successful but he could have tried to branch out, it's not like Rowling where it blew up and she just had to write 4 books to be a millionaire in a few years. It's not just that he doesn't challenge himself, it's that he firmly believes that he's doing meaningful work, or the best he could. Maybe it is the best he could but it's still shit.

Does any of the cuck memes have any basis?

Like, i've actually seen people argue that cuck can be used for someone with liberal views.

He's very adamantly against "slut shaming" comparing sex to eating breakfast cereal in that it shouldn't matter how many other people have eaten cereal when you eat it.
He was a self admitted beta orbiter to his wife throughout highschool and college and she only started dating him after he got famous.

Not a cuck per se but he is beta as shit

>Paper Towns

I remember opening up Paper Towns in a drugstore to see if John Green was as bad as the memes declare. Being sold in a drug store, I was suspicious right away, but I gave Paper Towns a chance which, as it turns out, it did not deserve. I read about 3 pages, standing there, in the span of a minute or two because the prose is so desperately vapid, and I am the first to admit I am normally a slow reader. The text was mostly dialogue, poorly written dialogue at that, about a collection of black santa dolls with undertones of racial morality and "social justice". The grasping nature of the author for depth and relevance was overtly apparent and, in a state of revulsion, I shut the book. I did potential readers the favour of hiding it behind some 50th rate thriller by the overrated Steven King and stood there stupefied...mortified by the fact that not only do authors feel compelled to write this drivel, or worse that publishers actively seek out such writers, but it gets published, printed, and sold in staggering numbers. Hiding one copy of this terrible novel behind another book would accomplish nothing. The literary world is clearly in a state of rigor mortis, propped up by publishers that wave it's dead arms about to attract readers.

I've been listening to his podcast with his brother (and have been considering stopping), in the latest one he explained that he eats his cereal not with milk, but with water.

This surely invalidates anything he has to say on any matter.

vaguely pedophilic tones that come from a man writing about the hipster teen he wished he was

I don't hate Green, but I do agree with both of these. Especially the dumb fucking metaphors.

god i wish i could meet her

halfaxa and visions are absolutely inspired masterpieces. shame about art angels though. it's vain navel-gazing trash.

He was friends with her in Chicago in 2003 and they became engaged in 2005, a month after his first book was published.
>When Green was twenty-six, he met Sarah Urist, who was managing an art gallery in Chicago. She had been three years behind him at Indian Springs, and they became reacquainted through the woman Green was then dating—Sarah’s sparring partner at a boxing gym. After Green and the girlfriend broke up, he and Sarah started a friendship with a large epistolary component. “We e-mailed back and forth for a year and talked about everything,” Green said. “It was one of the most invigorating conversations I can remember having.”
>Green (whose last name was then Urist) met John Green when they both attended the same preparatory school in Indian Springs, Alabama.[4] They became reacquainted eight years later in Chicago, when Green began dating Urist's boxing partner; after they broke up, he became friends with Urist.[3] Urist became engaged to Green on April 22, 2005,[4] and the two married on May 21, 2006.[8] They have two children: Henry and Alice.[3] In his videos, John Green often refers to his wife as the "yeti", because she was talked about frequently in his videos but, by her own request, was not shown on camera during them.[3]

god why am i looking this shit up

>>7669881
dude one of his 'major themes' is how idolization in romance is fundamentally flawed.

Why do all of these threads start with the same picture of this cuck.

Why the fuck has this board only been about Ulysses and John Green for the last few months. I miss actually getting recs and ideas from /lit/

>When she spoke, she made it a breeze. When others spoke, I only heard wind. And yet, when I spoke to her, I talked to the wind.
Why does this sound so broken?
>>
>>7677852
I don't even know what he is trying to convey there, other than being pretentious as fuck.
>>
>>7677860
I'm assuming it means :
>she made it a breeze
she was a cool, confident talker

>Others spoke, I only heard wind
He doesn't listen

>when I spoke to her, I talked to the wind
She doesn't listen/his words are lost on her

But it just sounds so strange, almost uncomfortable to read
>>
>>7668632
Post it, I'll do it if it's good.

That it was written by John Green

It's because he's a simp.

Ice never even read his shit, but his youtube videos are enough for me to hate him.
>>
>>7677917
yeah, it was copied into the millions of books of his that have been published
>>
>>7665435
LfA wasn't really that bad; well-written for the most part, with semi-relatable characters. Top-tier YA tbqh (I know its an oxymoron).
On the other hand, TFIOS was possibly the single worst book I'v ever read.
>>
>>7677920
It's literally not in any of his books. Nice try b8r anon.
