I think that the mark of a great book is that it will meet you wherever you're at and you'll feel and experience something new and different each time you read it.

I am an avid reader! As for writing, I might - someday. But we'll have to wait and see.

I've written a lot of really good books. Now we'll see if I can write any more good books. I mean there's a chance I won't, but I'm going to try.

I think that if you write what you love to read, that will be what your audience wants to read, too.

I always say that, for me, writing a book is like a wacky Greyhound bus trip - I know where I'm starting and where I'll end up, but I have no idea what will happen along the way.

If it is good literature, the reader and the writer will connect. It's inevitable.

A great literary work can be completely, completely unpredictable. Which can sometimes make them very hard to read, but it gives them a great originality.

My shorthand answer is that I try to write the kind of book that I would like to read. If I can make it clear and interesting and compelling to me, then I hope maybe it will be for the reader.

While I'm writing, I'm also the first reader, and I want to write a book where I'm excited about what happens next.
