I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.

I read a lot of fiction.

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.

Books in general are great, but I'm a fiction lover, and I will continue to do it.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.

I don't really know what the Great American Novel is. I like the idea that there could be one now, and I wouldn't object if someone thought it was mine, but I don't claim to have written that - I just wrote my book.

I think any good literature, whether it's for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children's literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would.
