Quote

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.

I like to read fiction, and I particularly enjoy reading young adult fiction. But I also read children's books, adult books, current authors, and classics, but I like fiction the most.

When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies.

I read the same amount of nonfiction and fiction.

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.

When I'm working on a novel of my own, I try to read mostly nonfiction, although sometimes I break down and peek at something else.

Personally, I read fiction, in part, because I get to spend time with people who aren't my people.

I like to read really good books - anything that's really great, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, how-to, or whatever.
