All my books reflect travel adventures of some kind, and all have a soul: a spiritual or mystical underpinning.

I read a lot when I'm travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

I'll read pretty much anywhere and anytime, but for a while now, I've really enjoyed reading on flights, especially the longer hauls, when I'm unplugged from everything and can completely immerse myself in the world of a book and submit happily to its rhythms, perspectives, ideas.

I collect books - a lot of books.

I take my Bible with me, sometimes two of them, when I travel.

Good travel books, like travel itself, open the door to new worlds. In the strongest works the author's vision becomes our own, especially if his or her subject is a distant destination.

I don't like to travel. Yet all my books seem to involve a journey.

Most people travel with a good book, but I also keep my agenda with me; I'll flip through the pages and take a few moments to organize my life a little - I rarely get the time to do this normally.

I'm passionate and I travel the world not just as a tourist but to understand cultures... I've lived with Masai tribe... I travel the world and bring it back in the form of a research book that would become the starting point for the collection.

Books allow you to see the world through the eyes of others.
