“all stories, the hero is the average of his friends, and the hero’s journey is a challenge to unite these ingredients in victory—Might and Right.”
Derek Thompson, Hit Makers: Why Things Become Popular

Derek     Thompson
“You take twenty-five things that are in any successful genre, and you reverse one of them,” he said. “Reverse too many, and you get genre confusion. It’s a muddle, and nobody knows how to place it. Invert all the elements, and it’s a parody.” But one strategic tweak? Now you’ve made something that is perfectly new, like a classic western adventure story, but set in space.”

greg You should create an all time best books bookshelf, although I already know 2 of them (they're on my list of all time favorites too).
