I love to listen to books on tape.

I like books on tape, and will listen to just about anything.

Yes, I have over the years done a lot of the audio books, which are just plain reading.

I read my books aloud before they were published.

Whether I'm at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I'm looking forward to reading.

I could listen to the radio and I had access to books from time to time. Not all the time.

The audiobooks I buy are never first-time reads - only rereadings of books I know well that I find intoxicating.

Francis Ford Coppola did this early on. You tape a movie, like a radio show, and you have the narrator read all the stage directions. And then you go back like a few days later and then you listen to the movie. And it sort of plays in your mind like a film, like a first rough cut of a movie.

I'm also doing constant book readings, movies. You name it, I'm doing it.

I write the books to amuse myself.
