Quote

With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.

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

I'm obsessed with books.

I consume an enormous number of books, but they're always on a particular subject because I'm obsessive.

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.

Sometimes I don't like the books that I'm reading.

I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.

I'm obsessed with books. When a good book hits me, it's all I can think about and all I can do.

I love everything about books. I love the content, the way they look and even the lovely way they smell. I think a book collection says something about you as a person, and certainly my books are something I'd want to pass on for future generations.

When you buy my books, you kind of know what you're in for. It's kind of self-selecting. If you have a delicate sensibility, and you're easily grossed out, you probably will never read one of my books.
