I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.

I am becoming increasingly difficult to please as a reader, but I adore being surprised by a really wonderful book, written by someone I've never heard of before.

I've always been a big fan of books.

I love a big book, but it's what most people like which makes commerce sing.

I placed my new novel, 'The Book of Lost Fragrances', in Paris, knowing it would be a challenge. But the book belonged in the city that is one of the greatest perfume capitals of the world and has been since for more than three centuries.

My favorite book of all time is Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.

I think 'The Time Traveler's Wife' is one of the most brilliantly marketed books I have ever seen.
