These days. You do get the odd one that thinks out of the box a little and shows that there is a semi-intelligent person behind the pen but on the whole, novels today are mindless drivel and I'm not surprised nobody reads them anymore. I don't want to read a crime thriller from the perspective of the detective! I want to be the murderer! I wanna get into the rapist's head and truly escape for a while. I wanna know how it feels to be schizophrenic or anorexic or psychopathic. I don't want to be inside the head of your average Joe. I want to become someone else.
One day I am gonna write a novel that will blow your minds.
Just watched Shutter Island, the film of one of the few novels that is an exception to the boring rule. It is brilliant.
