In which John reads the first half of the opening chapter of his next book, Paper Towns. (I did not spray paint the tree. It was an amazing coincidence.)

Provided I finish it on time, Paper Towns will be published by Dutton in September of 2008.

  • When I started reading this book I was like, "why does this sound so familiar?" and then I saw this video and I was like ZOMG! But then I got sad because for a second I thought I had tapped into the collective subconscious or something.

  • did anyone else got out their book and read along? :D

    Hoo Ha! Nerdfighters!

  • I was reading along in my book with this :D

  • when I first watched this video, I thought Paper Towns was going to be a murder mystery. I had a really hard time figuring out how the title fit. =P

  • Haha! John looks like he's reciting it in his memory with his eyes closed. :D

    I loved reading Paper Towns, BTW!

  • Listening to this after having just listened to the finished prologue I think I finally get what people mean when they say that books are made in revision. It's the same story, but it doesn't have the right feeling to it.

  • Awesomesauce excerpt. Whoever's idea it was for him to read excerpts as videos instead of just being stressed and not knowing what else to talk about is also awesome. I'm sensing a trend here....HOO HA NERDFIGHTERS!

  • i love this book! sadly i didn't get it for Christmas. but i did get Looking for Alaska.

  • i watched this a year ago, and only (finally) got hold of the book a few months ago, and while i was reading it, i kept wondering why i imagined these places so vividly. Watching it again, i realised that you kind of inceptioned me.

  • Does anyone else go back to these excerpts of paper towns and compare them to their own, current copy of the book? Or is that just me?

  • The visual representation is really cool,

    as I have read the book,

    and I couldn't quite picture the subdivision in its entirety.

    But it's very cool to SEE it.
