Goodreads asked Mark Leidner:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Mark Leidner I feel like the mysteries in my life — what is death, what is life, how to be a good person, how to let go of what must be let go of, how to hold on to what must be held on to, etc — would not be good plots for a book. They probably make good themes for any book, but "plot" implies something more narratively compact and explosive than how these mysteries tend to deepen and unfold in life.
