My youngest brother had a wonderful schtick from some time in high school, through to graduating medicine. He had a card in his wallet that read, ‘If I am found with amnesia, please give me the following books to read …’ And it listed half a dozen books where he longed to recapture that first glorious sense of needing to find out ‘what happens next’ … the feeling that keeps you up half the night. The feeling that comes before the plot’s been learned.
After a while, you start to realize that you should write a book you would want to read. I try to write a book I would enjoy.
It can be hard to write a skillfully entertaining fiction, but a great book wants to be more, and wants more from us.
