Weekly Geeks: Books Vs Authors

• Do you seek out interviews with authors of books you've enjoyed? Why or why not?
• Do you interview authors on your blog? If yes what did you gain from the interview process? If no is it because you don't want to or because you haven't felt able to ask an author yet?
• Do you subscribe to the blogs of authors you like? Which ones? All the authors you like or only certain ones?
• Do you track down author websites or look for biographical information about them elsewhere? Would you skip reading a book if you couldn't find out anything about its author?
• Have you hosted an author on a blog tour? Was it someone whose books you already read or did it introduce you to a new author?

If I like a book, I seek more books by that author. I am not much interested to know about the author. I am only interested in his or her writing. I have had author interviews on my blog but not many. I don't have a rule of not having any. I track down info about almost forgotten authors, not the contemporary ones. And I don't really subscribe to any author websites. Frankly I don't have the time to go through those. I would rather read their books in that time. And I have a feeling that authors too would prefer that!
