If you couldn't publish, would you still write? asks Markus Zusak

I was just skipping around Amazon and bumped into this AMAZING video with Markus Zusak. They don't allow it to be uploaded elsewhere, but here is the link. Watch it! He gives the moving backstory for The Book Thief and asks that question: if your book would not be published, would you still write it? I join with him in saying, "Yes!"

I want to host Markus on rgz! Who's with me, ladies?

  8. I am on board too! Would love to chat with Markus and his book is on the top of my "to read" list - I love history and this sounds like such a unique story.
