TLDR turtles all the way down

My first John Green book is turtles all the way down , and I started reading the ebook version and realized I just ended up highlighting everything. There was really no point in highlights (in the best possible way). I just had to buy a physical copy.

I once heard him say "almost all of writing is editing" and that book was very well edited. There was nothing there that was a filler- an empty space. It was all meaningful and lush and vibrant. Even the most simple phrases were like magic. They were essential to the telling of the story. It's hard to explain and put into words.
