Quote

I read several books at one time.

When I'm working on a novel of my own, I try to read mostly nonfiction, although sometimes I break down and peek at something else.

I read the same amount of nonfiction and fiction.

My house is filled with books, most of which I have read, some of which I intend to eventually get to. I'm always reading at least one work of fiction and one work of non-fiction simultaneously. Whatever mood I'm in, there's always a book nearby to suit it.

I primarily read fiction, and I read a good many wonderful books while writing 'The Visibles.'

I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.

I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.

Sometimes I - I try not to read too many fiction or novels.

I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I'm not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don't bother reading the rest, especially with novels. I'm not a book-club style reader. I'm not looking for life lessons or wanting people to think I'm smart because I'm reading a certain book.
