I keep an ongoing list of my fifty favorite books, which I recalibrate whenever I discover a new one that seems to demand a spot there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.
I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.
I have this obsession with really cool, old books.
Whether I'm at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I'm looking forward to reading.
I've got a long list of books I wish I'd never written-and I've kept them all out of print for the past 20 years.
You want all your books to stick around after you've gone.
You can find my book at your favorite bookstore, and if it isn't there, find a new favorite.
I start each collection thinking how I can refresh my classics.
I think ever since I started to read, there have been favorite novels for different stages of my life. And one is never bumped out of place to yield to another. Instead, I just add to my favorite shelves.
