Thanks to the folks at HarperTeen, today we have one more fun exclusive featuring Divergent author Veronica Roth — and some fun factoids to consider while reading (or after reading) Divergent:
Top 10 Things I Googled While Writing Divergent
- “How many floors does the Hancock building in Chicago have?”
- “How to treat a bullet wound” (relatedly: “bullet removal” and “recovery time for bullet wounds”)
- “Exposure therapy” + “overcoming phobias”
- “How high up is the world’s highest zipline?”
- “Map of Navy Pier”
- “What climate do peanuts grow in?”
- “What is The Bean sculpture in Millennium Park made of?”
- “Symbols of knowledge”
- “Puritan surnames”
- “Amygdala” + “part of brain responsible for processing fear”
