Books I've learned the most from: THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED, A NEW EARTH, and THE PROPHET For direct teaching. Most important lesson learned from fiction; A true hero often doesn't get to enjoy the world he saves. He strives for the benefit of those he loves.
Best piece of writing advice: Let Writing be your Zen Practice. Everything else will fall into place. Adopted from Writing Down the Bones.
Writer I'd like to have dinner with: Eckart Tolle, author of A New Earth. I would ask him for advice about how to live more successfully in the present.
I wish I were more like my wife: Generous, funny, observant, positive
If I knew exactly what the readers of the world wanted to read, I'd probably write what I want to write anyway.

I love The Lord of the Rings series too. Sounds like Robert will have lots more time to write in 2 months.
