I’ve run into people like this quite a bit — it’s as if they can’t comprehend of stories existing merely to entertain or because it was a story the author felt compelled to tell. What makes me love one book over another is usually the passion and love behind the writing. I sometimes see that in books that push an agenda, but all too often the passion is missing and the book leaves me cold.

It isn’t always about pushing an agenda. Not every author is looking outward when she writes. I know that because I’m one who doesn’t.
