Stunning Statistic

One in every 17 hardcover books sold in the US is written by James Patterson.

I like this, on his writing process:

I’ll get up very early, 5:30 or so, and write some, then maybe three or four days a week I’ll go play nine holes of golf, come back, write some more and have lunch with my wife, Sue. Two or three days a week I take a 45-minute nap, work some more, then spend time with Sue and Jack for the rest of the evening. That’s it, seven days a week.

I haven't read any of his books, nor do I plan to.
