Haruki Murakami
“When you introduce things that most readers have never seen before into a piece of fiction, you have to describe them with as much precision and in as much detail as possible. What you can eliminate from fiction is the description of things that most readers have seen.”
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Graeme Simsion
“So, to add to a momentous day, I corrected a misconception that my family had held for at least fifteen years and came out to them as straight.”
Graeme Simsion, The Rosie Project

Jodi Picoult
“Frankly, I wonder who Frank was, and why he has an adverb all to himself.”
Jodi Picoult, House Rules

Christopher Paolini
“At that instant, Eragon's back ruptured in an explosion of agony so intense he experienced it with all five senses: as a deafening waterfall of sound; a metallic taste that coated his tongue; an acrid eye-watering stench in his nostrils, redolent of vinegar; pulsing colors, and above all the feeling that Durza had just laid open his back.”
Christopher Paolini, Eldest

Andy Weir
“If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.”
Andy Weir, The Martian
