I love to read. But I loved to read a lot longer than I started to love writing.

I loved to read and to write, but then something happened. As I made my way through school, I kept getting handed books to read that didn't excite me and didn't even remotely connect to the realities of my life.

I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for me.

I've loved reading all my life.

I knew I loved writing, and I was raised by people who love books.

I loved reading when I was young. I was just completely taken by stories. And I remember taking that into English literature at school and taking that into Shakespeare and finding that opened up a whole world of self-expression to me that I didn't have access to previously.

I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.

Literature has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can't think back before a time that I didn't love writing and reading. When I was really young, my mother would read poems to me. I loved Edgar Allan Poe - I am sure I didn't understand it, but I loved it.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

I loved to read, and if I could've been a professional reader, that's probably what I would've wanted to be!
