Like any other person who reads a ton of books, I hate many, many books. Oh, how I hate them. I have performed dramatic readings of the books I hate. I have little hate summaries. I have hate impressions. I can act out, scene by hateful scene, some of these books. I can perform silent hate charades.

I don't really get hate mail, which surprises me, but people have better things to do than to write hate mail to somebody who writes a book about hating everything, I guess.

As an author, I really hate a reader like me. There's no loyalty.

It's a terrible thing for a book, when you feel like you're supposed to like it.

I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.

I don't get far enough into a boring book to hate it.

What I hate in fiction is when the author knows better than the characters what they should do.

If I don't like someone and I start reading their stuff, it seems like my brain will just automatically start criticizing everything that's there. It's really hard to read a book without having all this outside information telling you what to think about it.

A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.

I've got a big, long list of stuff you're entitled to hate about my books.
