I've always been a big reader.

I was always a big reader, even when everything was bad and miserable.

I grew up in a home where reading was a big deal.

I hadn't been a particularly precocious reader, but everybody else in my family was.

Other kids' parents wouldn't let them read magazines like 'Weird Tales,' but my folks were big readers themselves, so they didn't mind.

My mother was a huge, huge reader. I think I picked up very early how precious it was to write things in books and have people like my mother glued to the page.

I'm not that big of a reader, to be honest.

I'm not really a big reader.

I was quite a reader before I became a writer.

My mother was a reader; my father was a reader. Not anything particularly sophisticated. My mother read fat historical or romantic novels; my father liked to read Westerns, Zane Grey, that kind of stuff. Whatever they brought in, I read.
