Kate Atkinson

Ms. Atkinson stopped by the LBC yesterday to talk about writing. I love that she reads her stuff off the screen and doesn't print anything out till it's over; and that she shows nothing too early, except sometimes to her agent. Also, her comment-- that if she had enough money, she wouldn't publish-- was fabulous.

Please read one of her books, or better yet, all of them (Human Croquet is the only one I haven't yet read.) She is worthy of worship.
