Quote

I really have lived in books. Books are friends. They are some of the friends that make you who you are.

I grew up in a house with very few books.

I suppose books are my real passion in life.

Books stay with me and have shaped me and made huge impacts on my life.

With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.

I can't imagine my life without books. My father was an electrical engineer, and my mother was a public school teacher. Books were an integral part of my childhood.

I cannot live without books.

I'm not actually sure I'm grown-up enough for grown-up books.

There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.

One of the great privileges of my life was growing up in a house without books.
