It makes perfect sense to me. I also get stubborn when people tell me I should read a book because it's good for me or has an important message. I think we turn a lot of young people off to reading for pleasure when we force them to read some boring stuff in school. Insightful remarks about author bios. I agree. Unless I'm a stalker, I don't care much where an author lives. And I'm not a stalker. Though I write romance, I love reading thrillers. I'm hoping I have time for some book shopping tomorrow. I'll be looking you up at Borders. Barry, I love the way your explanation of the differences between literary and genre fiction. It makes perfect sense to me.
