How and Why We Read: Crash Course English Literature #1: Response

John Green is my favorite author/youtuber/blogger/human being, so that made the video even more enjoyable from the start. In this, he reiterated what he told my friend Stephi: the more you read, the better writer you become. He also stressed how important it is to think critically while you read, and I agree. It’s important to pay attention to what you’re reading, and notice the tiny details most authors put into their work. On top of it, he truthfully stated that the author doesn’t matter, only the story they tell. As a side note, his gallifreyan was quite impressive.

John also has a delightful tumblr, in case you want to check it out: http://fishingboatproceeds.tumblr.com
