Book banning: this time it's personal
I've been a fan of John Green since February of last year, when I stumbled across the video blog he was running with his brother, Hank. It was called Brotherhood 2.0 and it was all flavors of awesome. If you have a week of spare time I recommend checking it out from start to finish.
John is a YA author whose award-winning novel, Looking for Alaska, has recently met a challenge in an upstate New York school community. His defense of the book says it best. Plus, as most of John's videos are, it's articulate, funny, and dead on.
If you'd like to support John and his book you may write a letter in support and send it to: sparksfly up at gmail dot com.
