I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.

I feel as though I've gotten to a point where I don't really want to set a book in any real place ever again.

I have this book club, and we don't read one book; we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.

I know in this time of great technological advancement, the idea of reading a book seems almost anachronistic, but I think it's worth preserving.

I don't think anyone wants a reader to be completely lost - certainly not to the point of giving up - but there's something to be said for a book that isn't instantly disposable, that rewards a second reading.

Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own.

Probably not needing to be published would give me more time to think about a book.

While I'm writing, I'm also the first reader, and I want to write a book where I'm excited about what happens next.

I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well.

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
