I myself don't know what makes my books work. I enter a bookstore and I'm frankly overwhelmed by the number of books in most of them, and I know people are buying mine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a great shopper but I do buy a lot of books. I'm the publishers' friend - I buy a hundred books a year and read four.
I don't read books regularly, because I'm always writing them. I've written 30 books, thousands of pages.
I am a big book collector. I love books.
I do send out information about my books. Very few people buy the books that way, but I always feel that if they want to know more about the process, they can get the information from my books.
I'm an inveterate bookstore wanderer. I read constantly, so I love a good bookstore. I can't help it.
I love books so much. I've read more books than anyone else I know.
I buy thousands of books a year.
Why am I working so hard? Going for 400 books, perhaps, but who's really counting?
I think I'm more marketing- and sales-oriented than others, and the notion of selling books continues to interest me.
My whole thing is, I collect what I know I want to read, and I have certain bookshelves in my bedroom that contain all the books I haven't read yet.
