John Green is my hero.
I wonder if I can use “John Green is my hero. -Wil Wheaton” as a blurb on the back of The Fault in Our Stars. I LIKE YOU BACK, WIL WHEATON.
(Side story: I met Wil Wheaton was at the LA Times Festival of Books in 2010. When I told my friend Cecil Castellucci that Wil Wheaton, one of the coolest and funniest people on the Internet, was in the same room as me, she insisted upon introducing us. I was nervous and awkward, as I always am when meeting people I admire, and after 45 seconds skulked back toward the cheese table. Hopefully, Mr. Wheaton does not recall this.)
p.s. I continue to partially disavow this quote. i.e., I think there are a variety of compelling reasons to be alive. More on this forthcoming in The Fault in Our Stars.
Reblogged less for the quote, but more for the ridiculously awesome nerdiness that takes place above ^
