No, it is not the universe itself. You can doubt that anything has been created, but that is simply false.

Yes it is easy for someone to say, "I wrote that please pay me if you read it", but it is just as easy for someone else to say "Everything that has been, is, or will ever be written is already so." Both views can be considered correct yes? Where is logic?

You could say that, but it wouldn't mean a thing. Both views cannot be considered correct. Even if we were to stipulate that from a point of view outside of the universe that there is no distinction between past and present (which itself assumes that there is an outside to the universe, and assumes that someone outside the universe can observe the universe), it still doesn't mean that the author didn't write the book.
The author has to make a living somehow. If not from writing books, then the author has to take a job to make a living. That means that the author can only write in spare time. So the books don't get written.
