Paper Towns

[lauradoestheastro]

I love this! The part that I always find myself just going back to read again and again is the beginning of chapter 13, when Ben calls Q drunk.

"Quentin Jacobsen! The Q! America's greatest Quentin!....You are so designated! I love that you answered!"

haha :]

I think the title is the most amazing line. Paper Towns and everything it stands for.

But if I had to, it would be:

"No one is dead unless someone else is still alive."

I think that's it...

fav quote: "there is nothing funny about this shit."

freaked me *out*

[valrockstar328]

Wow, this turned out great!

[Painfoot]

That's amazing =)

Watching this video made me realise that Paper Towns is one of those books you could read forever and keep on finding deeper meaning.

This is great - I almost feel like I should read the book again now =)

[valerie2776]

That was awesome. I kept getting goosebumps.

My favorites: (There are a lot. Like 50 comments-worth.)

p16 "'Getting you a date to prom is so hard that the hypothetical idea itself is actually used to cut diamonds,' I added."

p49 "I stopped at the stop sign at the end of the street, and Margo said, 'What the hell? Go go go go go,' and I said, 'Oh, right,' because I had forgotten that I was throwing caution to the wind and everything."

[valerie2776]

p141 "The smell leaves me seized by desperate panic--panic not like my lungs are out of air, but like the atmosphere itself is out of air. I think maybe the reason I have spent most of my life being afraid is that I have been trying to prepare myself, to train my body for the real fear when it comes. But I am not prepared."

p188 "Lacey sat next to him, because 'I should make sure he doesn't puke or beat himself to death with his beer hand or whatever.'"

[valerie2776]

p214 "'Please stop,' I said. 'You're upsetting the black Santas.'"

p229 "It is so hard to leave--until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world."

p304 "It is saying these things that keeps us from falling apart. And maybe by imagining these futures we can make them real, and maybe not, but either way we must imagine them. The light rushes out and floods in."

Also the detective's speech on 104-105. The part about the thumbtacks on 216-217.

[valerie2776]

And this:

p137-138 "'Q!' he shouted over the music. 'How good does this feel?'

And I knew exactly what Ben meant: he meant listening to the Mountain Goats with your friends in a car that runs on a Wednesday morning in May on the way to Margo and whatever Margotastic prize came with finding her. 'It beats calculus,' I answered. The music was too loud for us to talk. Once we got out of Jefferson Park, we rolled down the one window that worked so the world would know we had good taste in music."

I'd turn on the camera and immediately forget what I was going to say!

Or forget halfway through.

[CleverestWitch2188]

I'm so glad that you finally got this up. It was neat to see someone else enjoyed the quote I chose as well.

-Sara

[passthebutterbeer]

Today I finally sat down and did it!  And then my iMovie crashed and I did it again!

[shawnmarie2004]

Lovely! Though I do hate watching myself. :-/

[CleverestWitch2188]

Me too. LOL. I can't tell you how many times I had to re-record this.... I kept saying the quote wrong. :P

[StarofAzrael]

[passthebutterbeer]

That's quite alright, I got a good amount and it's at a good length. :)
