How far would you travel to meet an author?

Please give Mr. Sanderson my regards and please ask him not to take so long with the next book in this Stormlight series.

The only reason it took this long was he had to finish The Wheel of Time. He wrote a 3 books for that with a total of a million words in four years. Now that that is no longer an issue, expect a new back every 18 months.

I've gone to lectures by people people who wrote books.  Does that count?  Also, hasn't Jake written something?  I would probably drive 30 or 40 miles to meet Jake.

Can't say I've ever been jazzed enough to go and meet an author.  Waved at Tom Clancy once, but that was in traffic.

Tom had his assistant wave back .

About 30 feet.

How far do you travel to buy a book

Between 0 and 10 feet, usually.

Does your wife make books in your home?

There's a cool site called amazon.com.  Try Prime-- you'll never want to give it up.

That's how I got my copies of Natural Harvest.

I don't know why I would want to use amazon to buy physical books.

I can't think of any public figure I would travel any distance to see.  I might pop in if I were in the neighborhood, but then probably not, truth be told.

They tend to have pretty good prices and it saves me a trip to the bookstore, wherever the closest one is these days.

I thought the point of brick & mortar bookstores was to check (or alternatively if you are Seeds, perv) out people, not buy books.

[derspiess]

And why would I need to do that?

[garbon]

I don't know why one would need to go to a bookstore.

[derspiess]

Okay.

[garbon]

Yeah, we hadn't been discussing needs.

[CountDeMoney]

I don't know why one would need to go to a bookstore.

Because that's where the books are?

I think you mean one location that books might be found and an inconvenient one given that they often won't have what you want stocked on the shelf.
