The age of the book is almost gone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It can happen that a book, unlike its authors, grows younger as the years pass.
I can't believe there will ever be a time when the book is truly obsolete. It is the perfect technology and feeds the soul.
I don't think I've ever read an old book through from start to finish. Not after more than six months after writing it, that is.
Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.
The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.
I can't write the same book over and over again... let it go, once it's gone!
I think there are readers out there and I don't think the book is dead. And more importantly I don't think readers have to choose between literary and commercial fiction.
Actually, the 14 novels were written over a period of just over 6 years.
Thirteen years I took on this last book.
So far it's 43 books in 25 years.
