I basically only read books that are over 2,000 years old.

It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written.

I don't think I've ever read an old book through from start to finish. Not after more than six months after writing it, that is.

I've never thought about the ages of my readers.

I'm not as well read as I was when I was younger - I just devoured books.

Actually my first eight books were historical novels, but they were never published.

I never heard of anyone who was really literate or who ever really loved books who wanted to suppress any of them.

Unless their use by readers bring them to life, books are indeed dead things.

There's so much more to a book than just the reading.
