Q&A with David Levithan discussion

Welcome to the group. Thanks for joining! David will be here on January 17 to begin the discussion. I will set up a few topics before then, but in the meantime, please feel free to introduce yourselves.

Hey, I'm a big fan of David's works, they are all so poetic and fresh and just amazing.
I already read The Lover's Dictionary because it was already released in Germany last year. I thought it was excellently written, the format was such a unique idea. I couldn't some of the main character's motivations though.
Anyway, David's works never seize to amaze me.

How exciting! Thank you so much for this opportunity. I'm a huge fan of David and The Lover's Dictionary was a great treat. I can't wait to see the topics and submit my questions.
Thank you again!

Uh hey. This is odd. I mean, talking about a person that isn't here. I know he will be so we can talk to him and stuff, but it's like those people that die to honor someone who's already dead. It's like why don't you just die for yourself? Hmmm.
Anyway, I love David Levithan. I quote him all the time, and love the Indie feel of words and music and stuff. Pretty. Epic. So yeah. Hi. I'm Sarah.

Let God insire you with this work which you have committed your self to perform.

Hi! I read Boy Meets Boy in 2006 and I've been obsessed with his books since then! I'm very excited about reading The Lover's Dictionary.

Hi there. I've been a fan of David's since I read Will Grayson, Will Grayson at the beginning of last year. I've already read The Lover's Dictionary and even had the absolute pleasure of meeting him last year and just this past week at a signing! His writing is amazing and with every novel I read I continue to feel like he's writing everything just for me.

When I read Boy Meets Boy, I just knew I had to keep following the author (figuratively, not in reality). Several books later I am still loving Levithan's works and am looking forward to The Lover's Dictionary.

i just finished boy meets boy about a week ago, and i LOVED it. i can't wait to read more of David's work. i have Will Grayson, Will Grayson on my shelf as well as The Realm Of Possibility but i can't read them until February, but when i do i'm sure i'm just going to love his work more.

Hello everyone. Very happy to be here. Let the questions begin!

Hi David! I'm really very curious about how you came up with the idea for The Lover's Dictionary's format. What made you decide to write the story that way?

I felt as if this was more poetry than prose...that wonderful prose-poem form. I'm interested in your planning for the book...did you story-board it so you knew the arc of the relationship before you started writing? I worry about your characters' future...as they do, too.

Hello!
I'm a really big fan of the aforementioned author; I first found out about him when my sister brought home Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist from the library and she and I were both instantly hooked (on both authors writing).
Yay!

Hello!
I've been on a David Levithan frenzy lately, just devouring his books. I'm really curious about the lime-green couches in them. How did that come about? I've found myself reading the books, eager to find the next lime-green couch mention. I'm lime-green couch junky.

Hi Everyone! My Name is Nicole, havent been active in goodreads for years, havent stopped reading ofc.. but the crazyest thing happend to me, cupple days ago I was talking to my bf and asked him about his toughts on homosexuality, at some point I said: I Can´t say that am heterosexual, I´ve never been atraccted to a women but I just cant label LOVE is as simple as that... well the conversation was longer.
But I ended up watching "every day" today, totally random and there it was a movie that thought exactly, how love has no gender, to be in love, is to love another person.
Finished to movie and found out it was based on a book I wanted to go back in time and just find out about the book....too late now, but i will definetly order it as soon as i can.
