I began to be impressed by what made a good book-how you needed to have a sensible story, a plot that developed, with a beginning, a middle, and an end that would tie everything together.

For me the end of a book is just as exciting as it is for a reader.

My most successful books, the ones that I feel the strongest about, are the ones that started with a premise that for me was deeply emotional.

I started thinking about the endings of novels not because I think endings are so important, but because I think they're actually not as important as they're sometimes given credit for.

I love novels where not much 'happens' but where the interest is in the ideas and analyses of characters.

I don't read books. I read 'On the Road' in high school, and that was awesome, so I guess that's my favorite book. 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' even though I didn't read it, that's the greatest story. SparkNotes came in when I was in high school, and that was the greatest invention.

A good book is a good book. End of story.

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

I enjoyed reading all the classic authors like Isaac Asimov and Bradbury.
