My favourite authors are John Grisham and Jeffrey Archer. Grisham rapidly established himself and now completely owns the legal space of fiction writing, something I want to do in financial space. I like Archer because he keeps his readers engaged: every chapter is a page turner, and he keeps his writing simple.
Patience is sorrow's salve.
To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense.
A joke's a very serious thing.
Genius is independent of situation.
