There are thousands of novels published every year and I am always amazed that anyone would print out 20,000 words about an unhappy family and think anyone would want to read it, but they do. Elmore Leonard is one of my favourite writers. His characters are all bad or stupid and out for what they can get. So realistic.<br />Now JK 'Moneybags' Rowling has written a crime novel and I wondered why she would bother. Maybe she likes Elmore Leonard too.<br />When an interviewer asked him what writing was the most profitable he replied "a stickup note, you know THIS IS A STICKUP put all the money in this bag".<br />I do like page-turners in winter though.
