Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Readers prefer a world they can relate to.
During my 'difficult teens,' I read about worlds that were mysterious.
Out of respect to writers, you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.
Books allow you to see the world through the eyes of others.
I'm not very good at creating worlds. I prefer to write about the world as it is.
The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.
You can't visit readers where you think they are. You have to invite them home to where you are and try to lure them into your universe. That's the art of storytelling.
I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.
I read many things. I read to fill in my knowledge of the world.
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
