I have three storage units, and that's no lie. Three storage units. All books.

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.

I have two quite large houses, and every cupboard and drawer is stuffed with books.

Behind every writer stands a very large bookshelf.

Books do furnish a room.

I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I'd throw them out.

Here's one of my bad habits: when I go to someone's house, I head straight to their bookshelf.

You want all your books to stick around after you've gone.

To me, the nicest luxury would be to have a room where I could keep all my books in one place - and have space for more.
