I buy thousands of books a year.

Does one ever read a politician's books?

I long for books; I am utterly greedy about them.

I'm not a great shopper but I do buy a lot of books. I'm the publishers' friend - I buy a hundred books a year and read four.

I am a Christian and a Democrat, that's all.

I collect books - a lot of books.

A lot of people in government don't really read books at all.

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.
