It took me 2 and a half years to get round to reading this book. When I finally read it I had such high hopes. It was so badly written and unrealistic. I couldn’t connect with it at all, I forced myself to finish it but I really regret ever buying this silly book.

How I did it: I paid €500 for a 20 week course which covered 7 Modules. The tests were easier than I thought they'd be and I get friendly with some of the people there. Read how I did it…
I am really annoyed that I can only have 43 things on my list. I want to be able to freely add things to it so I don’t forget to do them. It’s stupid having to limit your life ambitions to 43 things.
I know it’s contradicting the name of the website but you guys should change it to 1000043Things!
I’m 16 & need to have more than 43 Things to accomplish before I die! (I know I should really start working on my list so I can add more but for a lot of mine I know they won’t happen for a long time and others (like read more books) are longterm. I don’t want to read 3 books in a few weeks & then mark it as done!).
So Paper Towns finally arrived today & I’ve started reading it. I’ve only read the Prologue & First Chapter but so far I like it! It’s really interesting, I hope I’ll finish it quickly, before I get lazy.
