A Thousand Spendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Favorite Aubie story
In the fall of 1987, the students who represented Aubie in the suit came up with this idea to implement during a football game - they wanted Aubie to crowd surf all the way to the top of the bleachers, then have a fake Aubie thrown up and over the stadium wall. This idea was nixed as it was not seen to benefit the thousands of small children who might witness the murder of Auburn's favorite cat.

What I Eat at the Movie Theater
Without fail, a large popcorn with butter and large diet coke (you get free refills when you get the max size).
