Scott Hawkins:
What Shakespeare play do you think everyone should read once? Why?
Scott Hawkins
Richard III, because he's one of the all time great antiheroes. I also think "Now is the winter of our discontent" may be my all-time favorite opening line.

The only thing wrong with "The LIbrary at Mount Char" is that you haven't written another book like it. I enjoyed it so much that I almost read your Linus Desk Reference. (Okay, no, I didn't but still...) Do you have any plans to write another novel (or sequel) in that genre?

Some really excellent world-building in The Library at Mount Char. It felt like a mix of different mythologies converging together, sort of a re-alignment of all our theories and beliefs and legends. What gave you the idea for the library, and for the scale of its studies?
