I read everything. I'll read a John Grisham novel, I'll sit and read a whole book of poems by Maya Angelou, or I'll just read some Mary Oliver - this is a book that was given to me for Christmas. No particular genre. And I read in French, and I read in German, and I read in English. I love to see how other people use language.

I fell in love with words in all languages, and I read everything I could find, particularly myths and legends and histories and archeology and any novels.

I've always been in love with language. My favorite book is a dictionary. I have always loved words.

I've always been fascinated by books. When I was young, my grandfather used to hand out a book - which would be anything from a biography to a classic - to me every week and ask me to write a piece on what I thought about it. On the other hand, my mother used to love reading thrillers and bestsellers.

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

Like most authors, I also love to read.

I love deliberately badly written books.

I love books, and I love to read, and I had ideas for books that I thought would be neat to read.

I read everything and anything. I love books.

I read a lot, all the time, but often I read books for research, or because they're interesting to me in some way, even if they aren't exactly 'pleasurable.'
