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

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

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

Me and my books, in the same apartment: like a gherkin in its vinegar.

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

Often the grind of book promotion wearies you of your own book - though at the same time this frees you from its clutches.
