I agreed on condition that we found a completely new concept that had nothing to do with the latest books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It breaks my heart that we are always being nudged toward the most recently published books, when so many worthy books have gone unexplored.
I sometimes wonder what would have happened if the first book had not sold... doesn't bear thinking about, but I suppose we'd have made it work somehow.
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all.
All books should be trilogies; I mean I think we all agree on that.
I think of every book as a single entity, and some have later gone on to become a series, often at the request of readers.
Let's just say that I don't think our show has very much in common with the book any more.
The oldest books are only just out to those who have not read them.
A subject which at first glance seems quite removed from the undeclared concern of the book can encapsulate that concern.
No novel has ever changed anything, as far as I can see.
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.
