Too Much Information?

By --Deb on

Suggested by Simon Thomas:

Have you ever been put off an author’s books after reading a biography of them? Or the reverse – a biography has made you love an author more?

    I realized that I kind of avoid author biographies. I don’t want to find out that the author is less admirable than I would like to think. 🙂

    I rarely read author bios, beyond the blurbs at the end of most books. I can’t recall any bio or blurb that has put me off sufficiently that I haven’t wanted to read that author’s books.
