I was lucky enough not to face any required summer reading lists until I went to college. So I still think of summer as the best time to read for fun.
There's so much talk about the drug generation and songs about drugs. That's stupid. They aren't songs about drugs; they're about life.
I don't think there's any great mystery to writing female characters, so long as you talk to them. If you lived in a monastery and never met any women, maybe it would be difficult.
