Paper Towns author John Green shared his choices for a summer reading list. According to Entertainment Weekly, he was asked about his preferences during a panel at BookCon 2015.
Green (pictured, via) named Sarah Dessen’s Saint Anything and M.T. Anderson’s Symphony for the City of the Dead as two titles he is “looking forward to reading.” For him, the characteristic that defines a good beach read is a book “that’s pretty page turn-y.”
Fans who are eager to see the film adaptation of Green’s young adult novel should know that it does not faithfully follow the book. USA Today reports that the panelists admitted that “the film does take some liberties with the story.” Director Jake Schreier also revealed that a cameo featuring Green has been included in the final cut.
