Make sure your characters are worth spending ten hours with. That’s how long it takes to read a book. Reading a book is like being trapped in a room for ten hours with those characters.

Your characters can be loveable, or they can be evil, but they’d better be compelling. If not, your reader will be bored and leave.Collection: Book

Similarly, knowledge of the future was incompatible with free will. What made it possible for me to exercise freedom of choice also made it impossible for me to know the future. Conversely, now that I know the future, I would never act contrary to that future, including telling others what I know: those who know the future don't talk about it.

There's no known cure. And sometimes, in its most extreme, it's fatal.Collection: Book
