Two must-haves for me are a great book and my iPod.

I have two rules for a great book: make me think and make me smile.

A great book begins with an idea; a great life, with a determination.

What you don't know would make a great book.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.

When you read a great book, you don't escape from life, you plunge deeper into it.
