As a writer sitting at my table, showing off all the books I\u2019ve written, I frequently get asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite book?\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s a very hard question to answer, because I have very strong feelings about all my books.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t have written them otherwise.\u00a0 None of these are commissioned works designed to meet somebody else\u2019s order.<\/p>\n
So, instead of answering the question, I usually try to read the person talking to me and try to figure out what they would like best.\u00a0 That usually works.<\/p>\n
However, I\u2019ve decided to write a little introduction to each book, telling you what I feel about it.\u00a0 In essence, I\u2019ll describe why every book is my favorite.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be posting these little descriptions every few days, and then collect them all on my website archive for future reference.<\/p>\n
If you read them all, you\u2019ll probably be able to make your own judgement about which book is my favorite — at least from your perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
