Quote

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 don't read books regularly, because I'm always writing them. I've written 30 books, thousands of pages.

When I love a book, I really love a book. You don't get that very often.

I don't very often read novels.

One of the pleasures of staying with friends is that you get to browse their shelves. I always arrive with a book, but I almost never read it. It would be like sitting at their dinner table and opening a packet of sandwiches.

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

I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.

I never want to deal with a book once I'm finished writing.

The more I like a book, the more slowly I read. this spontaneous talking back to a book is one of the things that makes reading so valuable.
