Every Book I Write, The First Thing

What I Always Try To Do In All My Books Is To Make The Stories Such That If You Don't Agree With Me Politically Or You're Not Interested In The Thematics, The Story Will Still Keep You Turning The Pages.

Personally I Don't Like It When Writers Become Excessively Proscriptive About The Way That People Read Their Books.
