TMD Preface Comparison

The type of information that I found most helpful in gaining a deeper understanding of the books that we have studied is the information about the life and times of the author. I think that every author has a deeper meaning for writing their book/novel and there is always some piece of autobiographical information in their books. While they may not write directly about their lives, their own experiences almost always come into their works. It is interesting, and highly useful in understanding the book further, to see where the author was coming from when they wrote the novel.
