For me, any book I'm writing is also a chance to get in and research and read and learn things that I maybe only knew a little bit about before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I write books to find out about things.
I like to read really good books - anything that's really great, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, how-to, or whatever.
Writing is definitely something that interests me a lot.
When I really want to learn about something, I write a book on it. Then the real research begins, as I begin to hear people's stories, and huge amounts of information begins to comes straight to my doorstep. Then I can write an even better book the next time!
I love reading. I'm very much into history, novels, biographies and I have a wide range of thrillers.
I really enjoy researching, and for almost every piece, I research enough to write a book.
Listen, I wrote 10 unsuccessful books before I broke through, so I'm looking all the time to keep my books fascinating. I want to write what people want to read, not push any message.
I've figured out in the course of my life that the one thing I'm good at doing is writing books, and it would be crazy to trade that in for something else.
I try to write about things, places, events, and phenomena I know about personally. That helps make the novels more genuine.
When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies.
