What do you know about the author of your book?  Are you curious to know more about the author's story?

 The author of Bringing Down the House is an actual author, who's just telling the story of the M.I.T. students who 'took Vegas for millions'. He met Kevin, the person he's telling the story of, and experienced how the M.I.T. essentially smuggled money past airport security and onto a flight. So, I don't really know much about the author himself, more about the people who's story he's telling. 
I am curious to know more about the author, but not enough so that I would want to venture into a book about the author's life as a writer, but enough so that I'm curious as to how he got into this type of writing or how he kind of felt about coming across a chance like this- to write a book that reads like fiction but is in reality nonfiction. I'm really more curious to learn the rest of the story that he is telling, as opposed to his own story.
