If I weren't so lazy, I would have 14 books, not eight.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel I've got 10 books in me.
If I am on a journey where I only have time to read one-and-a-half books, I never know which one-and-a-half I'll feel like reading. So I bring eight.
I've written something like 17 novels, which isn't bad, I suppose, but my father wrote 120 books, my mother 40. In comparison, I'm lazy.
I can never leave a bookstore without buying a book. I read four or five at a time.
I don't read books regularly, because I'm always writing them. I've written 30 books, thousands of pages.
It took me eight books to finally be at a point in my career where I could come out with a book and say, 'This is meant to be a funny book,' and we didn't have to make any bones about it.
So I thought I should write five pages a day. And that's what I did. Eventually I had a book.
When I was in kindergarten, I entered a competition and read 52 books in a week.
Why am I working so hard? Going for 400 books, perhaps, but who's really counting?
We had library books in our house, but not our own. So you had 14 days to read them. There would be eight books a fortnight in our house and I'd read as many of those as I could.
