It's healthy to have interests besides books.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a lot of interests.
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.
I have certain strong interests that fill my life as well.
Any time you can take a book a little beyond the realm of pure entertainment, I think it's a good thing. But I don't really have it on my to-do list when I write a book. It just evolves naturally during the process of immersing yourself in a subject.
I read a lot, all the time, but often I read books for research, or because they're interesting to me in some way, even if they aren't exactly 'pleasurable.'
More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have.
Why buy a book when you can join a library.
I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.
Books can be a source of solace, but I see them mainly as a source of pleasure, personal as well as esthetic.
I've figured out in the course of my life that the one thing I'm good at doing is writing books, and it would be crazy to trade that in for something else.
