I don't even know how to answer 'who are your favourite authors' mainly because I don't like reading that much to have a favourite author.

Hope you aren't one of those people that are like,

"...don't you think that if he was just more competent he'd be like a Algeria's wall street ballers without morals to restrict"

"Actually, it is pronounced Mersault

Maybe that last line was from my fantasies

Someone asked me what I was reading on my ereader. That was tricky because it doesn't show the title on the page screens and I've completely forgotten what the book's called.
