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

I tend to read non-fiction.

In non-fiction, I found John Gardner's two writing books to be tremendously helpful.

I like to read really good books - anything that's really great, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, how-to, or whatever.

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

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

Fiction is the thing I esteem most in my own work; I feel that, even if it's no good, only I could have written those books.

One of the fantastic things about books, fiction or non-fiction, is the way they give you a chance to look into different lives.

I always have a book that I use that somehow inspires my novels.
