Michelle is a reader of books and petter of cats who counts among her favorite authors Kurt Vonnegut, John Irving, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. She hates Hemingway, loves Bukowski, and generally prefers a book in which bad things happen. Ironically, she also enjoys children's books and middle grade literature.
John is a fan of George Orwell and Ray Kurzweil. He’d rather read a book about the science of sound than a New York Times bestselling novel and he generally prefers his books steeped in fact and very dry. He starts way more books than he finishes but tends to overly enjoy every book he reads.
Jamie is a contemporary cheerleader and John Green's biggest fan. She does not drive a Yugo or own a lime green couch, but she has ridden in a cab with David Levithan. She may never write her own young adult novel, but she is perfectly okay with living vicariously through others'.
