Some like to believe it's the book that chooses the person.
People must not be forced to adopt me as their favourite author, even for their own good.
Whether it is fun to go to bed with a good book depends a great deal on who's reading it.
As a writer I'm essentially just trying to impersonate a first-time reader, who picks up the story and has to decide, at every point, whether to keep going.
It's my right to write on what I feel about certain incidents, and it's your choice whether to read it or not.
The unread is always better than the unreadable.
At the end, we can embrace and love whatever we want of an author's work. But we also can't ignore a writer's express wish just because we don't happen to agree with it.
I like to end stories where the readers have a little room to run. They can resolve things as they like in their own mind.
