I read several books at one time.

I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.

This is what I have discovered - and it has been a gift in itself - that books live over and over again in different people's minds. That I might mean one thing as I write, but a reader's experiences will take it somewhere else. That is like a conversation, I think. It is a true connecting up.

Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.

There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.

I'm obsessed with books.

I love books so much. I've read more books than anyone else I know.

I'm constantly running across people who have never heard of books I think they should read.

I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I'm not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don't bother reading the rest, especially with novels. I'm not a book-club style reader. I'm not looking for life lessons or wanting people to think I'm smart because I'm reading a certain book.

I've always been a big fan of books.
