“I try to write my books so the reader can’t put them down,” he explained in a 1982 interview. “I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It’s the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter.”

Sheldon was an old school writer and a good one. R.I.P..
I just thought it incredible that he didn't start writing until his fifties.
It just shows there's hope for all of us.:) It means I have 25 years to get around to writing that book.
So, start taking notes now! ;D
