Yes. Sometimes I post things with no comment with which I distinctly _disagree_, but in this case I strongly endorse the sentiment--"only" might be over-exaggerated, but writing a book is a huge amount of trouble, really not worth it if it is not in order to think something through. (True in my opinion for novels as well as for academic books, though obviously I have a stronger academic than novelistic cast of thought!)
I have published four novels and two academic books; forthcoming in 2014 is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
Very interesting quote... simple but direct in its message. Thanks for posting it.
