I will say I am the sum of my books.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel I've got 10 books in me.
But everything of value about me is in my books.
When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.
I am a big book collector. I love books.
I collect books - a lot of books.
If only one in 1,000 people that I talk to goes on to write a good book, that's one more good book that I've helped along... and maybe it will be a book I love myself five or 10 years down the line.
A book is a book is a book.
So, whenever I'm writing, I'm writing in the presence of all the other books I've read and I think we all are.
Who I am, what I am, is the culmination of a lifetime of reading, a lifetime of stories. And there are still so many more books to read. I'm a work in progress.
I can't sum up my books. They're all rather complicated. Sometimes I think they're too complicated. But that's the way I am. When I start to write a book, my head gets full of all kinds of detail.
