Murder in Three Acts

BY AGATHA CHRISTIE

My mother is a crime fiction(侦探小说)lover andwhen I was having trouble learning to read, we’d sit in my bed at home in Chicago and take it in turns to read a paragraph. It was the first book I read cover-to-cover and I later became a writer because of that experience. Not only did it give me a love of crime fiction but, more importantly, it taught me that reading can be a shared experience.

Cryptonomicon

BY NEAL STEPHENSON

This book showed me that historical fiction need not be dry, but can be lively and enjoyable. Stephenson asks readers to take science seriously, but writes the story in a funny way. I’d long known of Alan Turing, but Stephenson’s technique (手法)of describing him was surprising; I saw how a writer can bring a real person to life for modern readers.

A Visit from the Goon Squad

BY JENNIFER EGAN

Egan uses a technique that I drew on when writing The Imitation Game. She tells stories from different voices and times, and uses many styles that say to readers, “I’ve done a lot of work, but now you have to join in and work it out for yourselves.”

With my latest book, my greatest hope is that readers will want to get other people discussing the book. I’ve just started the conversation.
