It's extraordinary how many people read a book that's new and weird and befriend it.
1484Hi Goodreads. My first day. I read all of the time but I must promote my own 2 books - Vulnerabilia and Legacy. VULNERABILIA
I think, especially when you're in college, each book that you're reading tends to tell you who you are.
I don't think that Slaughterhouse-Five was successful movie material. In fact, Vonnegut's books mostly I don't feel are movie material.
I really hate those books where the murderer turns out to be somebody you never heard of who pops up in the last chapter.
I read more books for research purposes, whether it's a fictionalized biography of Johannes Gutenberg or a stack of urban fantasies.
I have been illustrating Tolkien's books ever since I first read them, long before illustration became my profession.
At times when you're adapting a book into a movie, you have to take certain creative liberties to bridge the gap between the two forms of media.
When I first heard of it, I thought it was a horror film. 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' is such a strange name. I wasn't into the comic books at all.
She read books quickly and compulsively, paperback after paperback, as if she might drift away without the anchor of the printed page.
Listening to Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker while reading your own book, sipping a beer after midnight, is a satisfying feeling...however fleeting.

I really care about my readers. I care about anyone who reads my books.
No human being who wants to read and own a book should ever have to go on a bended knee to get it.
As I point out in the very first pages of 'Into the Wild,' I approached this book not as a normal, you know, unbiased journalist.
Pictures in women's self-defense books never show women kicking other women. The idea is to leave something to the imagination.
Interpreter of Maladies is the title of one of the stories in the book. And the phrase itself was something I thought of before I even wrote that story.
The book is openly a kind of spiritual autobiography, but the trick is that on any other level it's a kind of insane collage of fragments of memory.
Hearing that the same men who brought us 'South Park' were mounting a musical to be called 'The Book of Mormon,' we were tempted to turn away, as from an inevitable massacre.
Bagheera: This will take brains, not brawn. Baloo: You better believe it, and I'm loaded with both.
Mowgli: [mentioning Kaa] Bagheera, he's got a knot in his tail! Kaa: [imitating Mowgli] He-he-he, he's got a knot in his tail!
