Where do I start if I want to tackle John Green's oeuvre?
Read it in alphabetical order, it's the true order.
Non meme reply incoming:
Don't bother. I think he writes good YA (which is goosebumps for girls, actually precocious teen should read YA) but that's all it is. Characters are archetypes of despair and dialogue is hammy without it being genre fiction.
Stephen King is acceptable because he writes horror, he needs to elicit a basic response. Green would claim to be a novelist, but doesn't push the literary tradition.
It is a waste of time and brainpower. Read Nabokov.
