A book has got smell. A new book smells great. An old book smells even better. An old book smells like ancient Egypt.

All my stories are like the Greek and Roman myths, and the Egyptian myths, and the Old and New Testament.

Do you know that books smell like nutmeg or some spice from a foreign land? I loved to smell them when I was a boy. Lord, there were a lot of lovely books once, before we let them go.

Rereading, we find a new book.

I'm writing a new book right now that is like an erotica manifesto.

Each new book is a tremendous challenge.
