I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I've never heard of before.

The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire.

I'm guilty of it myself, sort of thinking, 'Classic novels: snoozeville.' But there is a huge amount of wonderful material.

I've always been a big fan of books.

My favorite is always the book that I'm currently reading.

The last book I read was the book I've been rereading most of my life, The Fountainhead.

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it.

I don't think with any book you get used to people falling in love with the story. It's been incredible just to realize your books are being read. It's a pretty amazing feeling.
