Author John Green has done it all: nonfiction, tear-jerking coming-of-age novels, and now adult fiction with his new novel, 'Hollywood, Ending.' This is why in the ninth episode of our book recommendation series, we asked him for books for every kind of situation: heartbreak, having limited time to read, feeling out of place, getting into nonfiction, and the one book he thinks everyone should read.

I love the options, all of them look like great tuck-ins
John Green’s recommendations are • The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay — Michael Chabo • All Systems Red — Martha Wells • Piecing Me Together — Renée Watson • Mountains Beyond Mountains — Tracy Kidder • Parable of the Sower — Octavia E. Butler What I find interesting about this list is that each book answers a different human need — healing, curiosity, belonging, purpose and preparing for change.
