I do read on holiday, but it tends to be very lowbrow. I'm into really camp biographies, and I'm a shameless fan of Jilly Cooper.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I will read anything by Laura Hillenbrand, Walter Isaacson, Barbara Kingsolver, John le Carre, John Grisham, Hilary Mantel, Toni Morrison, Anna Quindlen and Alice Walker.
I read a bit of Ray Bradbury when I was a younger man. I don't read a lot of fiction anymore... like, none.
I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.'
I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.
I have no interest in non-fiction. I don't read it and don't watch it and don't write it, other than a little journalistic column.
People seem to read so much more nonfiction than fiction, and so it always gives me great pleasure to introduce a friend or family member to a novel I believe they'll cherish but might not otherwise have thought to pick up and read.

I read little nonfiction, but I have no boundaries about the fiction I relish. The only unfailing criterion is that I can hitch my heart to the imagined world and read on.
I don't like to read. The only things I read are gossip columns. If someone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.
I go to readings by fiction writers like Alice Walker, and I'm envious of the level of attention they generate.
