Looking for Alaska

I chose to read Looking For Alaska by John Green because it was recommended by a couple friends. I hear the story relates to my friends and my lifestyles very much. I think the development of the main character Miles reaches out and leaves his boring protected life. I've always liked novels about an abnormal character who does things he wants to do without listening to others who don't know the real world. Miles grows up in a similar community to Edina and gets to get out of the town and strive for the "Great Perhaps".

I may or may not have the book tomorrow in class depending on if my friend brings it to school.
