If I weren't so lazy, I would have 14 books, not eight.

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 read several books at one time.

I can never leave a bookstore without buying a book. I read four or five at a time.

We had library books in our house, but not our own. So you had 14 days to read them. There would be eight books a fortnight in our house and I'd read as many of those as I could.

I don't know how many good books I still have in me; I hope there are another four or five.

I read in a weird way. It comes in waves, and then I start, like, five different books at once. It takes me six months to a year to finish them all, since I read mostly on planes.

I have to have three or four books going simultaneously. If I'm not impressed in the first 20 pages, I don't bother reading the rest, especially with novels. I'm not a book-club style reader. I'm not looking for life lessons or wanting people to think I'm smart because I'm reading a certain book.
