I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I often keep my eyes open for bodies. I do. Ever since I was a kid. I think I read too many 'Nancy Drew' books.
I tend to push whatever is looking over my shoulder away when I am writing. It's once the box of books arrive that I say I'm going to be pilloried for this or that. But then you realize it's done, and there is nothing I can do. I'm proud of the book.
I am in the habit, like most British people, of holding the door open for people. But in the U.S., people don't understand it. You get odd looks or doors slammed in your face.
I take refuge in my books.
Sometimes I - I try not to read too many fiction or novels.
I try to picture my books being acted out.
I think I'm a pretty open book. We're all a work in progress, and I'm not ashamed to say that I don't have it all together - I don't really think anyone does.
I always hold doors open, I always try to be nice.
When I have a book I enjoy, I'm partly in the book. I'm not just observing it.
When I feel there's a door open, you always walk through it.
