Quote

I loved to read, still do, and it seemed that the writing was a result of the love of books and reading and libraries.

I loved reading when I grew up but did feel totally invisible because I couldn't see myself and my life reflected in the books I was reading.

I got into writing because books and stories were always a big part of my life. I loved listening to them and then reading them, and I loved making them up.

I love books. I read voraciously, and I happened to have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time.

Iwas not a reader at all, not until I discovered 'The Hobbit.' That changed my life. It gave me the courage to read. It led me to the 'Lord of the Rings' series. And once I'd read that, I knew I could read anything because I had just read thousands of pages.

I didn't care for most of the books I was being asked to read in school. I started reading like crazy right after high school when I got a job in a mental hospital. I was working my way through college, and I did a lot of night shifts, and there was nothing to do. So I read like crazy, serious stuff, all the classics.

I love to read. But I loved to read a lot longer than I started to love writing.

I could read at a very early age and I loved stories, losing myself in stories, novels.

I fell in love with reading when I was allowed to choose whatever books I wanted to check out of the library. I was around nine years old when I began choosing my own books in earnest.
