I give novels as gifts, and there is nothing I like to receive more as a gift.

Reading is such a personal thing to me. I'd much rather give someone a gift certificate to a bookstore, and let that person choose his or her own books.

Books are my very favorite gift to give. If you give a book to someone and they really respond to it, you feel you've actually changed their life in some way.

Books don't only furnish a room: they also make the best holiday gifts.

If you're not a parent, if you're an aunt or uncle or neighbor, books are an amazing gift.

I love to both give and receive very old books.

I always say to my people, 'If you don't sell a Ferrari to a football player, you make a big present to me.' Really. Because they buy to just show off. I don't like.

Time is the currency - the highest valued currency we have now. And people giving you their time is so incredible. They don't have to like your book, either. That's a totally separate gift.

Books! I dunno if I ever told you this, but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.

Don't give me books for Christmas; I already have a book.
