Which book should I start with?

[Molly Martin]

Ok, so I am going to finally start reading John's books. But here is the conundrum, which one should I start with? So I thought who better to ask than the nerdfighters they would know. So tell me, which book should I read first?
Thanks,
Molly

Any. They're not sequels, but apparently John used his later books to express some of the same points from earlier ones in a different way, or from another perspective. So, if you are interested in reading behind the lines, read them in order of the date they were published. If you don't really mind, or don't have a complete set, read in any order!

I hope this has helped.

I liked Katherines and Paper Towns the best but i think you should read them in the order in which he wrote them. Just because you can see how his writing progressed.

Just depends on your personal preference. I read them in release order, but should you wish to save the best for last... well, that's a problem since best is subjective, but my opinion is AoK, PT, then LfA. I think it's fun to read them in release order just to compare his writing and how it's changed, but really, you could read them at random, alphabetical, whatever.

If they aren't sequels and they are all good, which is true for John's books, just read them in chronological order.
Alaska, Katherines, Paper Towns. Then do all the books with other authors.
