Quote

What's gratifying is that it's my books that are being read and reread until they're battered over the years. I love that.

I write out of gratitude for all the books I have loved over the years.

I'm an appreciator. I love all kinds of books, and I want others to love them, too.

My own 'sentimental favorite' is always the novel I haven't yet written - I suppose that's the one I consider my 'masterpiece' as well.

My most successful books, the ones that I feel the strongest about, are the ones that started with a premise that for me was deeply emotional.

My books are, in a way, a record of my life - that part of it that came to flower and fruit in my mind.

My books are so tame!

I suppose books are my real passion in life.

I've always been a big fan of books.

I love deliberately badly written books.
