Quote

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

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

I read a lot of fiction.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.

Generally, I read nonfiction. There's very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy.

Fiction and nonfiction, for me, involve very different processes.

When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies.

I read little nonfiction, but I have no boundaries about the fiction I relish. The only unfailing criterion is that I can hitch my heart to the imagined world and read on.

I'm always reading several books at the same time, depending on how deeply engrossed in it I am, if it's fiction and if it captures me.

It's hard to do fiction and nonfiction simultaneously.
