I've read a lot of bad books. I used to review books for a living, and when you're a reviewer you read tons of terrible books.

I read a lot of true-crime books, but sometimes they can put you in a bad mood.

If you get a bad review, you take that in your stride.

The worst problem of peer reviewing is its time consuming nature.

A great review is great. A bad review is the worst.

There is a lot of talk in publishing these days that we need to become more like the Internet: We need to make books for short attention spans with bells and whistles - books, in short, that are as much like 'Angry Birds' as possible. But I think that's a terrible idea.
