You'll never guess who's going to be answering questions on Goodreads.

George W. Bush, that's who!

Ask Alicia Keys, George W. Bush, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, and Many More Authors a Question!

One of the most common questions authors get from their readers is, "What inspired you to write your book?"
But what if the author isn't just a writer, but a Grammy award-winning R&B singer-songwriter?
Or a performer who delivered one of the most-watched TED talks this year?
What if the author is the 43rd President of the United States?
Over the next few weeks, we're looking forward to seeing what you'll ask the likes of Alicia Keys, Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, George W. Bush, who are all taking questions on Goodreads as part of Ask the Author!
Readers, get ready for in-depth answers that tell you more about their personal lives and their work as writers, as well as, of course, what inspired them to write their books!

I can think of several, but unfortunately, he gets to select which ones he'll answer.

I really don't have anything to say to Bush, but I'd love to talk to Neil Gaiman. Lots of other talented people will be there as well, looks like. Why they tainted their lineup with Bush is a mystery to me.
