“There are books full of great writing that don’t have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story… don’t be like the book-snobs who won’t do that. Read sometimes for the words–the language. Don’t be like the play-it-safers who won’t do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
Stephen King
I’m with Tim O’Brien on this one because he expresses why I write fiction, and I’m with Stephen King because he expresses why I read fiction–I want the story and the good writing.
