Best wishes!  I’ve had this dean’s list letter for ages.  I read it for the first time today, and laughed so hard!

John Green… Thank You.

After re-reading all of John’s books this weekend I just feel the need to say “Thank you!”  Thank you for everything you’ve written, and everything you’ve said, and everything you’ve recorded.  Thank you for helping to create a community where everyone belongs.  Thank you for introducing me to great authors, great musicians, and great people. 

Thank you for making me cry when I read Looking For Alaska for the 3rd time.  I hate crying, but I need to let it out, and it’s the best way I know how.  I still wish it ended differently, even though I know if it did, it would not be nearly as good.

Thank you for making me think when I read Paper Towns over and over and over.  It’s my favorite (so far) because I understand Margo, and I know she takes the adventures I can only dream of.

 Thank you for making me feel good about being a nerd when I read An Abundance of Katherines.  I never liked math much… but thank you and Daniel Biss for making me understand that being a nerd doesn’t mean you have to like math.

Thank you (and David Levithan) for making me laugh when I read Will Grayson, Will Grayson again.  I have never needed to laugh more than I have now, and for some reason it just does it for me.  I guess who I really should be thanking here is Sarah, so thank you Sarah, for making this book get written!

I cannot wait for The Fault in Our Stars.  Thank you for reading us the first chapter.

I wish I could express how much you have change my life, but it will just sound cliché, so, thank you.

"In the back, I sit and I nod to the beats that are bumpin from my ipod
My god, they’re starting to pray
And over the music I can hear them say
“dear god, dear lord, dear vague muscular man with a beard or a sword.
Dear good all-seeing being, my way or the highway yahweh.
The blue-balled anti-masturbator, the great, all-loving faggot hater,
I’d like to thank your holy might for making me both rich and white
And though this is your day of rest, I come to you with one request
There’s so much pain beyond this steeple,
Wars and drugs and homeless people.
Sadness, where there should be joy, hate and rape and soulja boy.
A world in darkness needs your light, so I’m sure your schedule’s pretty tight"
