Are you a writer who is interested in writing a book, hopefully one that will be published? If you are, have you ever written a book before?

That often results in many writers asking themselves which books are easier to get published.

It is a very funny book, and an excellent read if you are just looking for a light laugh.I would question if it can be classed as an autobigraphy, after all he is younger than me, as far as I feel it is more a story of what he did at school and what he did for a living before he became a star.

For several years I have kept a diary, which is basically a book with dates of the year, and each day or so you fill in your daily jottings. I like to use a diary because apart from having a chance of writing anything down I also use it at a later date to remind me what I did in the past. This is mainly due to me having a very bad memory so is invaluable.

I must admit that one of my favourite authors of books is James Herbert, an author of horror books, who really makes it seem real. I do not think Stephen King, another author of horror books is as good as getting the reader involved with the plot.

I find that paperback books are strange in that they are not easy to stack, they are easily lost in the house and they are soon forgotten.Invariably paperbacks are usually fiction titles, so once they are read unfortunately unless they are very memorable that is the end of them, but then they can be passed on for someone else to read.
