I think you can do a lot, like describing people with their physical characteristics, things like that, but to me, I've always found it to be a much more informative question to ask somebody what they read.
suspected
For the record, I have long suspected that my favorite book is actually 'Charlotte's Web.'
amazingly famous huge jonathan literary
I'm like a unicorn; I'm a midlist writer who hasn't done anything else but write. But because I wasn't amazingly famous, I didn't become Stephanie Meyer, or even a huge literary name like a Jonathan Franzen or a Joshua Ferris.
diving leap-of-faith plus
Diving is a leap of faith plus gravity.

It wasn't even 8:00 yet. Pretty early for such deep thoughts.

I remember visiting my grandmother Adele in Ponce Inlet, Florida, when I was three years old, and she had an IBM electric typewriter. I thought that this electric typewriter was about the most fascinating toy in the world - I liked the little bell and the sounds and the feel of the keys and especially the erase key.

I like to believe, as a writer, that anybody who isn't a reader yet has just not found the right book.
best represent
On some level, I think we want our reading self to represent our best self.
best harvard knew
I knew I wanted to do something creative, and you don't necessarily go to Harvard to do that. It's not the best choice for creative writing.
books business cuts means thank time
Writing blurbs for books means you have to read the book, and it cuts into the business of bookselling. So every time I get a blurb from a bookseller, I try to write a thank you note.
