Children simply don't make the distinction; a book is either good or bad. And some of the books they think are good are very, very bad indeed.
Going off the grid is always good for me. It's the way that I've started books and finished books and gotten myself out of deadline dooms and things.
I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I'm into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder - all that good stuff.
I'm still a marginal figure living from book to book, but, as long as I'm producing labour as a good Marxist prole, I guess I'm satisfied.
If you're going to write a good book, you have to make mistakes and you have to not be so cautious all the time.
I like reading Ball Tongue lyrics and all that stuff. And they published a book, and I wouldn't give my lyrics, and it's all wrong in the book, and I giggle. It's funny.
As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The first books I was interested in were all about baseball. But I can't think of one single book that changed my life in any way.
For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men lived and worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.
I believe that it is my job not only to write books but to have them published. A book is like a child. You have to defend the life of a child.
Books are my very favorite gift to give. If you give a book to someone and they really respond to it, you feel you've actually changed their life in some way.
Any book that can help you survive the slings and arrows of adolescence is a book to love for life; 'The Catcher in the Rye' did just that, and I still do love it.
Since I spend such a long time making each book, I only choose books that I'm really interested in and that I really love.
I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.
I've been tremendously moved by a bunch of odd books. Ross McDonald is very important to me. I love the Lew Archer books.
How often have I met and disliked writers whose books I love; and conversely, hated the books and then wound up liking the writer? Too often.
The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder.
Happiness is not always reading the same page in the same book. Sometimes it is just wanting to hold the others book for them to read.
I'd like to read a book sometime. I've never read a book before. That'd be an adventure. I understand they have pages and everything. Yeah, I've got to do that sometime.
There is a strange idea abroad that in every subject the ancient book should be read only by the professionals, and the amateur should content himself with modern books.
