Writing books is a nice retreat. There's nothing quite like diving into a book for a few hours. That is a big time vacation.

Actually, between books is precisely when I do give myself vacations.

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

Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much, I sometimes think, but we do take vacations.

I don't really go to the beach.

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

I've no interest in going on a road trip. If I want to go on holiday, I want to sit on a beach, swim, drink cocktails and read a book.

I try to get to the beach every day. It brings sanity to my life. I'll just sit and read a book and enjoy the quiet.

I do have some books, but in all the distance flights I've made I've never opened the books. I've been too busy.

I don't go anywhere without my iPod, laptop and at least one book.
