>> how many books do you turn out a year? >> turn out? >> yes. >> i don't know. somewhere between nine and twelve. a lot of kids books which that is a passion for me which i'm sure we will talk about. >> you're turning them out very well. yesterday, we had the forbes list of the 100 top celebrities. you were the author on the list. the only author. >> that's right. the only author. it says you make a lot of money, james patterson. how did you feel making the list? does that kind of thing matter to you? >> not -- not -- it matters to some people so it's useful. sometimes i get hollywood producers say this guy, he must know something. then they don't listen to me. >> so the money matters but not being on the list? >> the money, at this stage, you know money doesn't matter right now. >> what matters? >> for me doing things well. that's what i like about "zoo." they did a nice job. some of the other hollywood things. we did a tv series a few years ago i thought wasn't very good but this is a good series.

you know, it's not so much -- i was brought up catholic but that's not it per se but it's -- it's -- it's just trying to do the right thing. there is an article actually by david brooks in an op-ed saying it gets into the whole thing about doing the right thing. trying to do that. >> we had him on to talk about that. jeff gordon was leaving about his two kids just make sure they go to library. >> or the local book store and another important thing obviously. i'm very involved in trying to get people to make sure we have that. >> you know how they can do that? we always went as a kid and i took my kids when they have reading circles for kids. >> if you go to movie on saturday, go to the library first. >> so great to have you here. watch the premiere of "zoo" at 9:00 central, 8:00 eastern. >> watch with a friend!
