Oh no he didn't.
Nicholas Sparks is a pretentious douche.
I can't believe how bafflingly arrogant this guy is about his mediocre books. Putting yourself in the company of Shakespeare, Jane Austin, and Hemingway?
"I'm going to interrupt you there. There's a difference between drama and melodrama; evoking genuine emotion, or manipulating emotion. It's a very fine eye-of-the-needle to thread. And it's very rare that it works. That's why I tend to dominate this particular genre. There is this fine line. And I do not verge into melodrama. It's all drama. I try to generate authentic emotional power."
Jesus Christ STFU. Like we don't already have ample evidence of the fact that a bestseller does not a good (or even decent) novel make.
I also like how fucking insecure he is about being called a "romance" author, and that the writer of the article keeps mentioning that he likes to "watch football", etc.
Just read the interview. There isn't much else I can add to it.

Unless you count leafing through his books in the bookstore "reading". Was not impressed. My sister is obsessed with the movie adaptations of his books, so I was curious.
