Quote

I grew up thinking that you were supposed to read and write all your waking hours.

I've always loved to read. But sometimes I go for a year without reading, because I forget to.

I don't normally have time to read, so when I go away I like to take a few books.

I spend a lot of time reading.

Reading takes me to a different place than my everyday life. I usually get fully involved in what I'm reading about, so it's a great escape.

I read for interest and enjoyment, and when I cease to enjoy it I stop.

Reading has been the fuel of my motivation: it has changed the direction in which I have traveled, and it has enhanced my creative imagination more than any other activity I have ever pursued.

Reading is my greatest luxury.

I like to read first thing in the morning. I'm addicted to the Kindle. I read a lot of business books, because I feel like I should figure out how to be a real businessman before someone figures out that I'm not one. I really enjoy reading classics as well, which I try to work in once every two months.

Since I make my living as a literary journalist, not a book scout, I spend inordinate amounts of time either reading or writing.
