In any case, I would prefer to read something I don’t enjoy than do almost anything else. I like the act of reading in itself. Following the lines of something — not just the story but the rhythm, the tone, the feel of what has accumulated from b...
What I like in novels that I read and enjoy is interplay of theme: the mystery of how we seem to be so separate as human beings.
I keep thinking I'll enjoy suspense novels, and sometimes I do. I've read about 20 Dick Francis novels.
I like reading history, and actually most authors enjoy the research part because it is, after all, easier than writing.
I think any good literature, whether it's for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children's literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would.

I don't think anybody should read anything except for fun because you won't learn anything unless you enjoy it.
My goal is to encourage our little ones to make reading a habit. To enjoy picking up a book. So that the habit continues throughout life.
There's really not much that people can pick on me for my work, so obviously they find other reasons to write something bad about me. I mean, people enjoy reading bad stuff about people.
...what I enjoy in a narrative is not directly its content or even its structure, but rather the abrasions I impose upon the fine surface: I read on, I skip, I look up, I dip in again. Which has nothing to do with the deep laceration the text of blis...
Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad books.
The things young women read nowadays and profess to enjoy positively frighten me.
I used to draw cartoons. I'd just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them.
