I know a girl who reads John Green. I would like to try and save her. What are some books I can use to wean her off his books and toward good ones? Bonus points if I can convince her that not only is John Green not that good, he's also quite awful.

Esoteric Johnism

Get her to start with The Greeks

But for a better answer: I know too little about John Green to be able to make a recommendation based solely on the information that she reads John Green.

You're never going to convince anyone of anything with that mindset. Try considering what it is about Green that she, and so many other people, like--you know, empathize with her and whatnot. That usually helps.

You can't, it's not because of his writing that he's so popular with the ladies.

What was the whole controversy about his human geography videos about that they had to be taken down?
>>
>>8723435

if you can't come up with any arguments against him then why do you want others to dislike him?

being YA fiction, there are plenty of "adult" literary works referenced in Green's books. you could try to get her to read those

they started the series out by dismissing geographical determinism in very strong terms ("super racist") without giving any actual arguments. they also lumped in jared diamond with colonialist racism. lots of people were surprised by the aggressive start before any actual facts were laid out (though i suppose they were going to elaborate on their critique later).
the video got lots of dislikes which got even more extreme when the video was shared on alt-right sites and trolls came rushing in. Green realized they went about it in the wrong way, took down the video and promised they would rework the series
