Last night I went to Elliott Bay Book Co. to see Daniel Quinn do a reading from his latest book, Tales of Adam. I've only read two of his Ishmael and My Ishmael. (And need to re-read Ishmael). The part of the evening that was exceptional was the Q&A session. Usually when I go see authors read, most of the people asking questions ask things like "How do you right?" or "Where do you get your ideas?", in essence asking "How do I become a writer too?". For DQ the questions were more like "What's the meaning of life?", "Is there an afterlife?", and "Do you think we can fix the planet?".
