I tend to follow a scattershot approach to reading a lot of very diverse subjects interest me, and I'm quite happy to read stuff on any of them.

I read everything: fiction, history, science, mathematics, biography, travel.

I read everything. I've always got a book on the go and I'm really nerdy about it, I get through books and don't remember anything about them afterwards. But I read all sorts, from classic to contemporary.

I really like knowledge and reading books and just generally immersing myself in information.

One of the reasons why I don't write the same kind of book again and again is that I get bored very easily, so I like to make things interesting for myself.

I read everything and anything. I love books.

I love books, and I love to read, and I had ideas for books that I thought would be neat to read.

I really try to focus on my books and readers.

Everything that you read is an influence on everything you write, and you want to draw as many elements into your work as you can.

I collect axioms, paradoxes, maxims, teaching stories, proverbs, and aphorisms of all sorts, because I love to see complex ideas distilled into a few words.
