Nonfiction that uses novelistic devices and strategies to shape the work. That's material that I really like.

But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.

Books in general are great, but I'm a fiction lover, and I will continue to do it.

I like to read really good books - anything that's really great, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, how-to, or whatever.

I've written fiction... but the nonfiction has always received the most attention.

The books I love most are the ones that combine some sort of gripping story with really beautiful or stylish writing. Some of my favorites are 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, 'The Virgin Suicides' by Jeffrey Eugenides, 'The Interpreter of Maladies' by Jhumpa Lahiri, and 'Blindness' by Jose Saramago.

I love books.

I've only written one science-fiction book: 'Fahrenheit 451.' That book is a book based on real facts and my hatred of people who destroy books.

There's a bunch of Stephen King books I love. 'Salem's Lot' was always one of my favourites. 'It.' 'Needful Things.' Moving away from King, and 'Silence of the Lambs' is always a good choice.

People respect nonfiction but they read novels.
