    Lily Allen, who once wrote a song about what a loser her brother Theon Greyjoy was, took The Guardian‘s “Books That Made Me” questionnaire, and landed on the objectively correct answer to the question of which book she wishes she’d written: “All of the Harry Potter books, for obvious reasons.”

    I really appreciate when rich and famous people are like Being rich and famous is very good; more of that please! Hey, we all love writer’s writers, but you just don’t see people lining up to get into The Inescapable Loneliness of Humanity World of Richard Yates.

    Allen also correctly answered the question about “guilty pleasure reads”: “I don’t have one. No shame.”
