Reading should be a pleasure, not a chore.

I absolutely love reading; it is a fantastic way of unwinding.

All reading should be pleasurable! I don't like people who keep reeling out the 'books are so important' line. First and foremost, reading is about entertainment, the same as movies, video games and music.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

I read for interest and enjoyment, and when I cease to enjoy it I stop.

What I want is to try and get across the idea that reading for pleasure is so beneficial. And turn children on who have maybe been switched off reading or never found a love of it in the first place.

Perhaps the greatest reading pleasure has an element of self-annihilation. To be so engrossed that you barely know you exist.

Reading has always been the great love of my life.

I often reread books I have written.

I haven't read for pleasure in 35 years. I mean, I get a lot of pleasure from what I read... For me, it's gotten so that it doesn't seem as though I've read a book unless I've written about it. It really seems the completion of the reading process.
