When a new book comes out or becomes accessible in whatever form, I get it and I read it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Each book I've done somehow finds its own unique form, a specific way it has to be written, and once I find it, I stick with it.
I tend to think of the reading of any book as preparation for the next reading of it. There are always intervening books or facts or realizations that put a book in another light and make it different and richer the second or the third time.
Once you realize just the sort of glut of books that exists out there, it does become incumbent on you not to add to it unless you have a damn good reason.
I often reread books I have written.
All of my books now come from readers' ideas.
The more I like a book, the more slowly I read. this spontaneous talking back to a book is one of the things that makes reading so valuable.
I get to show the reader the essence of the book without giving anything away.
The audiobooks I buy are never first-time reads - only rereadings of books I know well that I find intoxicating.
The possession of a book becomes a substitute for reading it.
I feel that form determines how readers read a book and how they judge it.
