my nerdfighter story :)
i became a nerdfighter when i saw my best friend and her english teacher flailing excitedly about hank's upcoming show in our city. unfortunately, i (stupidly) decided not to go, but I immediately fell in love with everything about nerdfighteria and went out and bought all of john's books. this is where nerdfighteria really changed my life. i've loved books since i was really young, but for some reason, i sort of stopped reading for a while. i had several "reasons" to justify this: not enough time, no good books, etc, etc. but i still don't really know why it happened. all that matters is that from the second i opened an abundance of katherines, i fell in love with reading again and was so captivated by the book that i finished it that day and started looking for alaska right after. there aren't enough words to describe how much those books affected me, but the easiest way to say it is that they helped me remember why i loved to read in the first place and they proved to me that there are always, always good books to read: you just have to keep looking until you find them.
DFTBA :)
