Good morning Hank, it's Tuesday. It's Question Tuesday, the day that I answer 50 real Snapchats from real Snapchatters. Let's get right to it.

Favorite thing about Indianapolis?
Race day!

Favorite TV show?
The Americans. Not just the best show about spies on TV, also the best show about marriage on TV.

How are the puff levels?
Little too high, actually. Hold on. (Gets haircut) Yeah, that's better.

Any great movies to recommend?
I really love both Dope and The End of the Tour.

Why do you love writing?
For me it's like the number one way of escaping the prison of my consciousness.

Biggest lesson from the refugee camps?
I'd never really considered the horror of dislocation. Like it's one thing to experience trauma inside your community and in a social structure you understand, but it's totally different to experience loss in a place that isn't yours surrounded by people you don't know.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I don't know, but I know what I want to be doing on Tuesdays.

Favorite YA debut of 2016?
It hasn't come out yet but Spontaneous is the best book about spontaneous combustion you will ever read.

Hints about your new book?
Uh, it concerns the White River.

When's it gonna come out?
I don't know, not this year.

What do you think of Hamilton?
It's just so astonishingly good! It's so nuanced and rich and the songs are so catchy!

Favorite Hamilton song?
That's like asking me to pick between my kids, but I am pretty fond of the cabinet meeting rap battles.

Can you name a character in your new book Avery?
No, I can't just, like, choose... Actually, you know, I kind of like that name. Maybe.

How many Katherines qualifies as an abundance?
Mmm. 19, possibly 18.

What was your childhood best friend's name?
Yeah, no. That adorable puppy filter is not going to trick me person who is clearly trying to learn the answer to my security questions.

What was your dream job as a kid?
Earthworm scientist.

How would you get away with murder?
Well given that 40% of murders in Indianapolis go unsolved it's apparently not that difficult.

Favorite piece of furniture?
This La-Z-Boy in which I've written at least part of all my books and which was described by The New Yorker as quote "grubby" and quote "oatmeal-colored" and by The Wall Street Journal as quote "tan". That's right, my La-Z-Boy's been covered by some of America's finest periodicals, and yet does La-Z-Boy send me recliners for free? No they don't.

Should I read The Fountainhead?
But there are so many good books.

What's your opinion on sporks?
I guess I just feel like they're not very good at two things.

Honest opinion on Donald Trump?
I'm reminded of something Cyrus Ching once said: "Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy, and besides the pig likes it."

What's your favorite reading position.
This.

Do you write with music or in silence?
Usually silence, occasionally The Mountain Goats.

Band you most listen to?
Definitely The Mountain Goats followed by Hank Green and the Perfect Strangers,

Favorite Hank song?
Strange Charm.

Who the eff is Hank?
Hank is a young adult novel published in 2005. Unfortunately I have no control over the movie rights to Hank.

Any news on the Looking for Alaska movie?
Sadly no.

Thoughts on Doctor Who?
I am very excited for the new spin-off series written by my friend Patrick Ness.

Have you ever shaved your head?
Yeah, in high school I shaved my head and then when it started to grow back I dyed my hair fuchsia plum but I had a really bad reaction to the hair dye so I ended up with a lot of fuchsia plum dandruff. Oh, and I was so stressed out about my fuchsia plum dandruff. I'm so glad I'm not in high school anymore.

What is this?
I believe that's a sloth who, having eaten too much oversize lollipop, is now barfing a rainbow.

How do I survive reading Macbeth?
I think you have a much better chance of surviving it than Macbeth does.

Favorite tree?
I guess former Orlando Magic player Tree Rollins.

Favorite season?
Oh definitely Season Kent, the music supervisor for The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns movies.

Favorite dad joke?
I'm pretty fond of the ones I just told.

Are you making a cooking channel?
Maybe.

Monopoly or Scrabble?
Scrabble.

How's Willie?
He's so good! Willie, say hi. He can't, he can't talk.

We're newlyweds. How do we build a strong marriage?
My parents gave us two words of advice that have been very helpful: Mutual generosity.

Can you speak Spanish?
No. Well, except I guess I just did.

If you could speak any language what would it be?
Probably Spanish.

Did you have braces?
Yes, for three years.

Coke or Pepsi?
Diet Dr Pepper.

Dinosaurs or dragons?
Dinos.

Favorite infinity?
Real numbers.

Is there gonna be more Crash Course with you?
Yes. More literature this summer, we're reading all these books.

What are you reading right now?
This. It's so good!

Feelings on socks?
I love them.

How excited are you for VidCon?
Very! Less than 90 days to go!

Llamas or alpacas?
Llamas!

What's your Starbucks order?
Can I just have like a, like a regular, just a large regular coffee, just, just black coffee? Thank you.

50 questions, 4 minutes! Hank I'll see you on Friday!
