Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.

No one writes a great book every time out, or even a good book.

People don't care about books. They care about ideas.

The reason why books endure is because there are enough people who like them. It's the only reason why books last.

I've never really been satisfied with a book. I always want it to be better.

Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones.

The important thing about any book is that you have to have a good story and that it has to be exciting. Then it's nice to add other levels underneath that people can pick up on.

People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.

Books are a finer world within the world.
