I like to read, walk, cook, and travel to cities. We live in the country, so we miss museums and the bustle of city life.
My commitment is to strive to lean on the Lord with my whole heart, reading His word daily and earnestly seeking His will in my life.
Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic. And for this serious task of imaginative discovery and self-discovery, there is and remains one perfect symbol: the printed book.
'Lord Of The Rings' fandom was massive, worldwide, entrenched. Generally it had been part of the fans' life all their life, because they had it read to them as children; they'd become Tolkien students.
I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.
It's a fairly common phenomenon of London life - people having fully developed critiques of books they haven't read and films they haven't seen. I'd probably include myself in that.
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That's about as exciting as my life gets.
'Catcher in the Rye' changed my life when I was a kid. I read it as I was a boy turning into a man, and I was so fascinated by the values. I believe in it.
I remember reading the script for 'Dangerous Liaisons' and thinking that I could quite happily spend the rest of my life watching this film; the story and the writing were so wonderful.
When I was in the Army, I read a book by Adlai Stevenson. He said law was as noble as saving a person's life. So at one point, I felt that way too.
Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.
I read 'Red Dragon' back in high school. I love Thomas Harris' approach to the crime thriller that crossed over into horror in a way that nobody really tapped into.
I don't thrive on stress. I love lying on the deck on our houseboat reading a book.
I became a writer because I love to read, yet I never get to unless I'm reviewing a book or doing research.
I love books and the latest autobiographies. I'm a Gemini and love being with people, but then again, I love my own company, which is when I read most.
I would love to write something that people would still read 50 or 100 years from now. That comes with growing older, I think.
My favorite subject in high school was English. I love reading and writing, and I felt really supported in this subject, and my least favorite was math, since I felt completely lost.
I love mysteries, and I read them every night before I go to bed.
I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.
I love books so much. I've read more books than anyone else I know.
I love 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X.' That was like the only black book we read in high school.
