Keeping onions and potatoes togetherMust you compulsively finish a book you've started or do/can you leave it if doesn't grab you?

People who misspell/use incorrect grammar on the internet and think it's okay because "They're not in English class". CORRECT SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION REQUIRES NOTHING.Has a book ever made you cry?

What's your favourite movie?

Julie Gordon and the New Guinea Smugglers by Estelle Grey - borrowed it so many times from the school library the librarian wouldn't let me borrow it again!Which author, living or dead, would you invite to dinner?
Monica McCarty...what an amazing writer...would try to persuade her to write vampire stories...that woul be awesome!!!Do you prefer paper or kindle?
Paper hands down every time, not even a question! If you could have dinner with three living people, who would they be?
Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank Engine. Also Daria, once I was old enough to understand what any of that show was on about.Scared of spiders?
Overall probably something Nine Inch Nails or Coheed and Cambria - I'd hazard a guess at The Fragile for the former, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 for the latter. Dem album titles, man.BUT according to my media player, my most played song is Will Smith's "Nod Ya Head". Hmm.

Florence + The Machine at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Front row, everything was amazing. Though Julia Stone was also exceptional, intimate crowd, little Church-met her after the show. But technically not a concert, so Florence wins :)
