quotes from Augustus Waters: "You know this would go faster if we got rid of the hurdles"

[missNCISfreakk]

Spoilers: That hurdle idea is in a book that you write that you end up signing 150,000 copies of. Have fun, future John.

I think the fact that John dismisses the hurdle idea is more interesting than the fact that he used it in TFIOS. (Slight spoiler alert) Like he says about Hazel's desire to (seriously it's sort of a spoiler stop reading sillypants) meet Peter van Houten and ask about the end of An Imperial Affliction. Hazel is focused on this goal, but John thinks it's, well, silly. Knowing John's personal opinions just makes it so interesting for me to read his books!

I hate that everyone is flipping out because his hurdle analogy was in tfios. He WROTE THE BOOK, so his ideas are in it, and this was an idea he had, and so it got put IN HIS NOVEL. WHY IS THIS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT TO GRASP. It wasn't a secret message, or a little joke, it was a thought the author had and so he WROTE IT IN HIS NOVEL.

Brilliant reference to the hurdlers part of this video in The Fault in Our Stars. (this quote is not spoiler-y, so don't worry.) "I [Augustus] started thinking about them running their hurdle races, and jumping over these . . . arbitrary objects . . . set in their path. And I wondered if hurdlers ever thought . . . This would go faster if we just got rid of the hurdles." You're amazing, John.
