blue_monday. As ever, comment to ask or be asked.
Do you have one favourite book ever, if so what is it?
Probably Cricket Term by Antonia Forest. I like the summeryness of it, and how the play and the cricket mean so much to different girls in different ways.
You can rule a small country for a week. Where is it and what do you do?
I think my true answer is that I do very little, being more of a figurehead ruler with all the money and status, but no actual power. Somewhere warm, or somewhere snowy. If they had any pesky human rights violations I could try to get those sorted out, except a week probably isn't long enough. I also suspect that I might be a bit of a left wing fascist at heart, so the time limit is probably a good one.
Would you rather be Angus, Ian or Paul?
Ian! I would get to edit Private Eye, and libel people and go to court and lose. I like Paul, but I don't think I'd want to be him. And if I were Angus, even on hignfy, I would get mocked and be the less funny one.
What are you most looking forward to about having your own house?
No-one being able to throw me out, and having less of that kind of worry. I won't have quite a few of the other benefits, because it will be my parents', and it's shared (although I'm really pleased about that), but feeling much more secure will be very nice.
If someone offered you £10,000 to never read a book by one specific author ever again, is there any author you would say yes to the offer for?
Lots. May Wynne, Winifred Norling, any author ever who wrote for Pickering & Inglis (evangelical publishers of children's books including school stories that look as though they're going to be good and then crumble to pieces). I think really, I could bear never to read quite a lot of authors, even ones I quite like, for £10,000. That probably makes me a bad bibliophile, but there are so many great books in the world that not reading one author isn't really going to detract from that.
