Finished reading Looking for Alaska by John Green last night, because reading banned books is resistance. It was very good I highly recommend.

I can see why it's on some highschool reading lists. It's a coming of age story that sincerely grapples with many of the hard questions humans need to answer to go on living and I'm sure makes a fantastic jumping off point for discussions.

It put me in mind of a favorite Le Guin quote. "There was not one forest but many, all full of bright tigers of meaning."

There's no one answer but many. If we're very lucky we might encounter many answers in our lifetimes.
