There are three foolproof ways to please a writer: here they are in ascending order: 1) tell them you've read one of their books; 2) tell him you've read all his books; 3) ask him to give you the manuscript of his upcoming book to read.
"Romanian
"Există trei modalități infailibile de a face plăcere unui scriitor: iată-le aranjate în ordine crescătoare: 1) să-i spui că ai citit una dintre cărțile sale; 2) să-i spui că i-ați citit toate cărțile; 3) să-l rogi să-ți dea să citești manuscrisul viitoarei sale cărți."
