As a book/article reader what would inspire you most to pick up that book and read?
What would be your most favourite book ?(not yet written)
I'm guilty of judging a book by its cover. A very attractive cover is what makes me pick up a book in a store. Once I have the book in hand, a well-written summary on the back cover is what clinches it for me. It makes me want to get into the story.
Adventure romance is one of my favorite things to read. Lots of action, international settings with a strong eminent love story.
It depends what I am looking for. For example, I like fantasy so if I am already reading a series a like I obviously will want to read the next books in the series. I also will look for something that is popular. For example, with the Hunger Games movie, I wanted to read the books.
My favorite book would be From Weak to Strong-it would be an autobiography of my life.
Subject, cover, summary, and (as appropriate) photos.
I would like to read the, as yet unwritten book, on how the world finally learns to live in lasting peace.

He's my favorite living author, and the reason I decided to pursue writing as a career. What I want to know from all you King fans out there is, which is your favorite (i know, it will...
