Quote

I love to reread, even more than I like to read, so keeping a hold of books that I adore is very important, although they flee from me - they are always fleeing.

I do reread, kind of obsessively, partly for the surprise of how the same book reads at a different point in life, and partly to have the sense of returning to an old friend.

I don't reread my books.

The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire.

I read several books at one time.

There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.

I often turn to my books when my own writing is having a hard time.
