Quote

I became a writer because I love books, and I believe in their power.

I love my job, and I love books. I read anything, including cereal boxes. I care deeply about what people think of my books, and I memorize my reviews. I love to hear from my readers.

I love everything about books. I love the content, the way they look and even the lovely way they smell. I think a book collection says something about you as a person, and certainly my books are something I'd want to pass on for future generations.

I was a political journalist; I came to writing novels through an interest in politics and power.

I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.

People know that I am a very good author. But they would rather read what I have to say about the next election.

I'm a politician. I run for office. That's my profession.

I love books.

I love being in the archives, traveling, sitting in dusty places and looking at books with brittle pages. I love reading biographies and researching, to make myself informed about whatever political or historical time I'm writing about. From there, a lot of the emotional truths about my characters emerge.

I read everything and anything. I love books.
