I primarily read fiction, and I read a good many wonderful books while writing 'The Visibles.'
I love to read history; at its best, it is an art.

Most scholarly books we read for the information or insight they contain. But some we return to simply for the pleasure of the author's company.
Books, I don't know what you see in them. I can understand a person reading them, but I can't for the life of me see why people have to write them.
I enjoy the research and love actually creating the words. There's not too much I find a drudge when it comes to writing.
