Quizzing the Author

What one tip would you give any literature fanatic?

Pay attention to the characters' conversations and musings, that's usually where to gain insight on the characters.

What helps you understand books?

Taking notes while reading. Reading a book more than once.

Tell us a funny story about you and literature.

I love drama and prose but find many poems baffling (why do some poets take the extra pain to make their poems too abstract?). At fifteen years old, I had already read all the plays in 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare' but could not get myself to read the poems in the collection. It's been over a decade and I still haven't gotten around to reading those poems.
