If you think about it, how many billions of people have died and had thoughts and experiences? But no one remembers anything about them. Some day I’ll die and once everyone who knows me dies, no one will remember me. So if you think about it, characters in books are more real than any of us. They’ll exist in the social consciousness long after we are forgotten. Who’s to say book characters aren’t as real as we are?

The main purpose of these books is to turn the reader on, but I always try to deliver the same literary quality that I’d bring to anything I write. There’s no point in doing a novel if you’re not going to have a proper plot, no matter how improper the action.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
in Middle Earth, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal realms of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d brothers make their life
Whose misadventure Sauron overthrows,
And with his death, end their people’s strife.
Their fearful passage, that shall death mark’d prove
And the continuance of their parents’ rage
Which but The One Ring’s end, naught could remove,
Is now, like, twelve hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which of you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
