You can say you're going to take a vacation, and you can even take the time, but you might as well not, because the book is still sitting in your head.

I don't like to travel. Yet all my books seem to involve a journey.

A vacation for me is when I'm home and I'm writing.

I can't picture going to a beach, or anywhere on vacation, without a couple of books as companions.

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

When a book is going well, it tells you where to go.

Most people travel with a good book, but I also keep my agenda with me; I'll flip through the pages and take a few moments to organize my life a little - I rarely get the time to do this normally.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

Writing books is a nice retreat. There's nothing quite like diving into a book for a few hours. That is a big time vacation.

You want all your books to stick around after you've gone.
