I enjoyed this interview with Philip Roth (from the Financial Times, via Slate). My favorite moment: When Roth says that he doesn't read fiction anymore, and when the interview asks why, Roth replied, "I don't know. I wised up." A cryptic answer that Roth declines to explain further.
Perhaps I like this exchange because it might seem to validate my own strong preference for reading non-fiction rather than fiction. Although I am willing to make an exception when the fiction is by Philip Roth.
