Quote

I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.

Only occasionally do I read new fiction. Most of my reading is heavily dictated by what I'm writing at the time.

Generally, I read nonfiction. There's very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy.

Sometimes I - I try not to read too many fiction or novels.

When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies.

While writing a novel, I don't read anything new in fiction. I am too engrossed.

Unfortunately, I don't get to read nearly as much as I want because I'm always working on my own stuff, either the novels or newspaper columns.

I read the same amount of nonfiction and fiction.

Reading takes me to a different place than my everyday life. I usually get fully involved in what I'm reading about, so it's a great escape.
