Quote

In addition to being a writer, I'm a librarian - professionally trained and everything.

In the last century, I earned my living as a librarian, and I loved it. I'd have to take some classes to get up to speed with 21st-century librarianship.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.

I am not a librarian of my own work. It's a good thing not to be too involved with what you have done.

Librarians in America do something like a couple of billion dollars worth of book business every year.

I'm really a library man, or second-hand book man.

What I try to do - and I think this is the former librarian in me - is to get primary source material.

Once I engage in something, I really engage in it, and I love the process of reading and researching because I come from an academic background.

As a child, I spent a lot of time at the library.

I just try to take the best opportunities that I can get.
