“Keep reading. It’s one of the most marvelous adventures that anyone can have.” ~Lloyd Alexander Thank all of you for playing my Caption Game. It seemed to get over really quickly, but maybe that was just because the captions you suggested were so fun. I think you had the most fun with my friend showing up at the Shaker …
Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life. ~Barbara Kingsolver A few years ago I did an interview with a writer who said very emphatically that he never read fiction. He didn’t like fiction. True stories were all that he ever read or wanted …

Some time ago I had an interview with a writer who said he never read fiction. He didn’t like fiction. He wanted to read true stories and obviously thought fiction a waste of time.
