Jodi Picoult : (5) " I think there are readers out there and I don’t think the book is dead. And more importantly I don’t think readers have to choose between literary and commercial fiction. " - Jodi Picoult " It’s certainly my honor to be able to, hopefully, change the world a tiny bit, one mind at a time. " - Jodi Picoult " I don’t believe in writer’s block. Think about it – when you were blocked in college and had to write a paper, didn’t it always manage to fix itself the night before the paper was due? Writer’s block is having too much time on your hands. " - Jodi Picoult " I write about all the horrible things that can happen to kids as a way of keeping those things from happening to mine. Write the books, spit three times over your shoulder and you’re safe. " - Jodi Picoult " I write adult fiction, but a good 40 to 50 per cent of my readers are teenagers. I love that if they have to grow up and move past JK Rowling they can move to me. From Jo to Jodi! " - Jodi Picoult
