Could Ya Write a Bit Faster?

James Patterson has an agreement with Hatchette Book Group to write (or something like writing) 17 books by the end of 2012. Seventeen books. I’m sure he has some of them mostly written already, because I have a hard time believing a book written from scratch would be worth reading. But then, Wodehouse wrote one book a year for a while, and many of his were terrific. Is Patterson as good as Wodehouse?

  1. Also, does Patterson work as hard and consistently as Wodehouse?

    (Also also, one wonders, will Patterson’s publishers give him the distraction-free time necessary to write so many books well?)
