To read too many books is harmful.

I read several books at one time.

One of the maddening ironies of writing books is that it leaves so little time for reading others'. My bedside is piled with books, but it's duty reading: books for book research, books for review. The ones I pine for are off on a shelf downstairs.

I'm a sporadic reader. I have moments when I can't stop... then I kind of forget that I can read. But then I go, 'Oh God, yeah, books!'

I confess that I am a messy, disorganized and impatient reader: if the book doesn't grab me in the first 40 pages, I abandon it. I have piles of half-read books waiting for me to get acute hepatitis or some other serious condition that would force me to rest so that I could read more.

There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.

I have always been an obsessive reader - I remember going back and forth to the local library with stacks of books taller than I was.

I read whatever is put in front of me. I gobble up books.

I will read four or five books at the same time.
