Quote

I was uncomfortable writing fiction. My love was the personal essay, rather than the novel.

In course of time my first novel appeared. It was a love story.

I love books where you feel you're having a romance with the writer.

'Casebook' is my attempt at a love story. I had a vision of a difficult love.

I don't think with any book you get used to people falling in love with the story. It's been incredible just to realize your books are being read. It's a pretty amazing feeling.

Reading has always been the great love of my life.

The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire.

I was an obsessive fantasy reader from the time I could read at all.

Book love... is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures.

I wrote a book, and I just love it when people come up to me and say, 'I read your book and loved it.'
