I love everything about books. I love the content, the way they look and even the lovely way they smell. I think a book collection says something about you as a person, and certainly my books are something I'd want to pass on for future generations.

I'm an appreciator. I love all kinds of books, and I want others to love them, too.

When I love a book, I really love a book. You don't get that very often.

I was a book lover from the beginning. I loved, love, words and images and ideas, the ways a book can make you feel things deeply or help you understand something you never even knew there were words for.

You have to be a lover of books without expecting more of them than they give - a little pleasure, a little insight, a moment of escape, a deepening of your own humanity. Not much else.

I wrote a book, and I just love it when people come up to me and say, 'I read your book and loved it.'

I love all of my books. They were labors of love; I was striving to create something well done, and I do feel I succeeded.

There are people out there who genuinely love literature, who genuinely love to read and read widely, who will never like, or even necessarily get, my books. That was a hard one to swallow, to not feel slighted by.

I love books.

The books that everybody admires are those that nobody reads.
