Quote

I love smart commercial fiction. Susan Isaacs, for example and the readers who interest me are, in the preponderance, women. I am one of them; I like the books they like.

It's funny - my wife is more jealous of my books than of other women because I'm always working and thinking about my books.

I read everything and anything. I love books.

I teach a lot of graduate creative writing classes, and on the first day, I like to go around the room and ask everybody what's the last book you've read that you really loved. And all of the women tend to give me chick lit titles. And to me, that's sort of disappointing because it's their only exposure to fiction somehow.

I'm obsessed with books.

One thing that's really delightful is my books tend to attract people who are funny, so I get the benefit of people writing me with things that crack me up.

I have a lot of men who will say to me, 'I don't read books by women, but I like you.'

Women inspire me... so I enjoy women's stories and biographies. I am interested in all women.

I love funny women. I love writing funny women characters.
