I really liked An Abundance of Katherines when I read it last year. Some people are put off by the math in the book, but since I am a math nerd at times, it did not bother me.
If you like that one, I would also suggest Green's Looking for Alaska although the books are quite different.
I have just picked up An Abundance of Katherines by John Green.
This has some good reviews, has been recommeded by others on LT and I have already read a couple of his books before. I am hopeful that this one will be better than the previous two. Will let you know.

hi Linda
I picked up An abundance of Katherines at the library yesterday and I am about halfway now.
I am no genius, although I would qualify for Mensa, but I did read very early (at 4 years my first books) and I can relate a lot to Colin. Being the outcast at school, seen as a nerd and ...
I've read An Abundance of Katherines ,
But I've never read The Thirteenth Tale.
I've read Jazz (great book) but I've not read An Abundance of Katherines (yet).
I found An abundance of Katherines at the library and started reading today.
Hi Stasia.
Next up...Looking for Alaska
Flossie...I always wanted a son. If you read An Abundance of Katherines , I'll be interested in hearing your comments. I liked the book, but as mentioned, I couldn't understand the quips and boy-like bantering of the characters.
#359 Whisper: Linda, have you tried Looking for Alaska by John Green yet? If not, I highly recommend it. I enjoyed An Abundance of Katherines after I had read Alaska, and it is interesting to see both the similarities and disparities between the two books.
Hi longwing
I wanted to thank you for posting comments regarding An Abundance of Katherines by John Green Thanks to your recommendation, I added this book to my tbr pile. I finished reading it today and enjoyed it tremendously.

I've just finished Chalice by Robin McKinley, which is wonderful! I've just picked up John Green 's Paper towns, as well as When the black girl sings by Bil Wright, and I'm looking forward to diving into these.
I honestly didn't like it. I've read two of his others An Abundance of Katherine's and Looking for Alaska, which I enjoyed. This one just tried too hard. And yet another book by him that has the theme of a fantastical pixie girl that is always out of reach to the boring-everyday joe.

87. An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. Another winner by Green, who combines humor, angst, and a great deal of smarts to his books. A much lighter storyline than his Looking for Alaska but just as enjoyable.

Oops - one more thing: you ought to give An Abundance of Katherines by John Green a try as well. It is not as emotionally in-depth IMHO as Looking for Alaska, but still worth the read, if you are interested.
I think that An Abundance of Katherines was a much better book by Green. I liked Looking for Alaska; I thought it was a good read, but Katherines was much better.

I read An Abundance of Katherines a week or so ago. It was absolutely brilliant. #11, I share your assessment. Mr. Green has definitely made his way onto my favourite authors list. I can't wait to read Paper Towns next month.
I just read Wicked Lovely (and really enjoyed it!), but I'm not sure what YA is up next. Possibly An Abundance of Katherines to make sure I don't fall behind in the reading group again ;)

There are going to be way too many good choices this time!

I would second An Abundance of Katherines for the future, and also suggest Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, both of which folks have been talking about but I haven't read.
I've been reading Saving Francesca, ...
Other books I'd like to do at some point in the future are The Giver and An Abundance of Katherines (when it comes out in paperback). I keep reading discussions about The Giver recently, and I loved it when I read it a long time ago. I don't know whether it's considered too similar to Uglies ...

I haven't read a great number of YA books published in 2006 (our library takes forever to get anything in), but I liked An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life by Dana Reinhardt also stood out. I also finally read Sisterhood of the Traveling Pan ...
... that were mentioned.
For Looking For Alaska, I loved it about as much as I was depressed by it. I suggest reading An Abundance of Katherines . It's really funny, no horrible sad parts.
I personally hated Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson. I just hated the main character. She was ...
I'm about to start An Abundance of Katherines because of all your talk about it. ;)
I have to say I agree with kperry about Fly by Night. I wanted to like it, but when I tried the audiobook I couldn't stick with it.
I just finished An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. I loved it. I would highly recommend it. It made me laugh and think. Who knew romance could be so mathematical.
Now I have to finish I am the Cheese.
...
I read I am the Cheese when I was in middle school and remember really liking it. I'm interested in picking up An Abundance of Katherines after hearing so much about it. Currently it is checked out at my library.
... I cried--everything. I liked this one a lot better then Inkheart.
I am currently reading both I am the Cheese and An Abundance of Katherines . I just started The Amulet of Samarkand on audio.
I am the Cheese is a bit confusing (it probably doesn't help I am reading two other ...
I just finished An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. It was enjoyable, I really loved the characters. The math and the Katherines got a little old, but overall it was enjoyable.
I just started Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin and I'm already really into it!
I am currently reading An Abundance of Katherines by John Green in an effort to read as many JHunt titles as possible. I am enjoying it and actually am liking it a bit more then Looking for Alaska, but I think that has something to do with the way my sense of humor is changing.

I just finished Peeps by Scott Westerfeld. I liked it, but not near as much as Uglies.
