生命中的美好缺憾 The Fault In Our Stars
「星星即使在數億光年之外爆炸,光芒仍會留在地球的夜空中。
儘管在不完美的命運中相遇,留下的痕跡並非傷痛,而是美好的缺憾。」
海瑟是個平凡的女孩,雖然她罹患甲狀腺癌,而且已經進入末期。不過,醫學奇蹟縮小了腫瘤,賦予她更多時間思考。對她而言,她的生命就像一顆不定時炸彈,面對死亡,她只想走得輕巧,不想活在太多人的記憶裡,以免讓她愛的人受到傷害。
奧古斯都是個開朗、自信的男孩,即使骨肉瘤害他失去半條腿,仍然肯定生命中簡單的喜悅。只是,他害怕被人遺忘,希望可以累積更多美好的回憶,並且永遠活在人們的記憶裡。
在隨時可能畫下句點的生命裡,兩人在這個或許不是那麼美好,又帶有一絲缺憾的世界裡相遇,彷彿兩顆星星,彼此碰撞、迸發出新的光芒……

“If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”
Miles Halter’s whole life has been one big non-event, until he meets Alaska Young.
Gorgeous, clever and undoubtedly screwed-up, Alaska draws Miles into her reckless world and irrevocably steals his heart. For Miles, nothing can ever be the same again.
‘Looking for Alaska’ brilliantly captures the exquisite painful joy of living and loving. Poignant, funny, heartbreaking and compelling, this novel will stay with you forever.
紙上城市 Paper Towns
Quentin Jacobsen has always loved Margo Roth Spiegelman, for Margo (and her adventures) are the stuff of legend at their high school. So when she one day climbs through his window and summons
him on an all-night road trip of revenge he cannot help but follow.
But the next day Margo doesn't come to school and a week later she is still missing. Q soon learns that there are clues in her disappearance . . . and they are for him. But as he gets deeper
into the mystery - culminating in another awesome road trip across America - he becomes less sure of who and what he is looking for.
An Abundance of Katherines
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a
road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy - loving best
friend riding shotgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge
Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.
