I still think that of all the people doing top fiction today, John D. MacDonald is the best.He was my model as a kid. If there are people out there that want to write, all you need to do is read 20 of his stories to get an idea what it takes to make a story kick over.

I do not aim with my hand he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye. I do not shoot with my hand he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind. I do not kill with my gun he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.

I'm a slow reader, but I usually get through seventy or eighty books a year, most fiction. I don't read in order to study the craft I read because I like to read

A coward judges all he sees by what he is.

Not every book has to be loaded with symbolism, irony, or musical language, but it seems to me that every book-at least every one worth reading-is about something.

I started off thinking Eminem was a flash in the pan, a kind of hip-hop Hanson brother. How wrong I was. Recovery is sometimes funny, sometimes terrible, always painfully honest. The matching of Eminem and Rihanna on Love the Way You Lie is pure genius. Not Afraid is pretty great too.
