Quote

My great-grandfather was a self-taught man, and his library was extraordinary. I read the lot.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.

I am a big book collector. I love books.

I collect books - a lot of books.

A library book, I imagine, is a happy book.

I have this book club, and we don't read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.

There were a lot of things I loved about working in a library, but mostly I miss the library patrons. I love books, but books are everywhere. Library patrons are as various and oddball and democratic as library books.

Any given day, you'll find me at secondhand bookstores.

In addition to being a writer, I'm a librarian - professionally trained and everything.

And my father always took me to the library. We were both book addicts.
