What's gratifying is that it's my books that are being read and reread until they're battered over the years. I love that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love to reread, even more than I like to read, so keeping a hold of books that I adore is very important, although they flee from me - they are always fleeing.
My books are all fantastically sentimental.
The books I like to read the most feel like they've been written by somebody who had to write them or go crazy. They had to get them out of their heads. I like that kind of urgency.
I love books where you feel you're having a romance with the writer.
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 am glad and thankful that my husband forced me to start reading for pleasure, as it took me years to listen to him and pick up a book!
I don't reread my books after they're published, because it's agony.
There are scenes from books I'm happy with. I tend to think my books are all broken. But then my favourite reads are almost always books that don't, in the end, pull off what they set out to do.
I hope that readers will tear through my books because they can't stop themselves - and then, maybe, read them again and find new things there.
I love deliberately badly written books.
