Don Quixote's 'Delusions' is an excellent read - far better than my own forthcoming travel book, 'Walking Backwards Across Tuscany.'

I dreamed of having a book of my own, of writing one that I could put on a shelf.

The first grown-up book that I read on my own was a nineteenth-century edition of 'Tales from Livy' that I'd found in my grandfather's library.

Read Don Quixote; it is a very good book; I still read it frequently.

I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.

I prefer to live in my own little bubble of my own reality.
