I write books that I want to read. I write books that feature curvy heroines because I'm a curvy woman myself and it gets tiresome to read books about skinny women all the time. There's nothing wrong with skinny women, I just don't relate to their li...
One of the coolest things about touring around, actually, is getting to meet people, and getting to pick up on things that other people like. So many times, people come up to me after a reading and say, 'You must have read this,' or 'You must have se...
I seldom read anything that is not of a factual nature because I want to invest my time wisely in the things that will improve my life. Don't misunderstand; there is nothing wrong with reading purely for the joy of it. Novels have their place, but bi...
You know that I had heard so many times people say things like, 'You could never write 'Harry Potter' and have it be about Harriett Potter because nobody would read it; people only want to read an adventure story if it's about a boy,' and I thought, ...
This is the most important thing about me--I'm a card-carrying reader. All I really want to do is sit and read or lie down and read or eat and read or shit and read. I'm a trained reader. I want a job where I get paid for reading books. And I don't h...

I think most people read and re-read the things that they have liked. That's certainly true in my case. I re-read Pound a great deal, I re-read Williams, I re-read Thomas, I re-read the people whom I cam to love when I was at what you might call a fo...
Young screenwriters are always very frustrated when they talk to me. They say, 'How do we get to be a screenwriter?' I say, 'You know what you do? I'll tell you the secret, it's easy: Read 'Hamlet.' You know? Then read it again, and read it again, an...
Reading was a joy, a desperately needed escape -- I didn't read to learn, I was reading to read.
Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me, read with me, read with me. It was wonderful.
If you don’t want to waste your time on thinking, start reading.
It would take a lifetime to read all the webcomics published in one year.
I really like to read when I'm eating - 'The New York Times' or the 'Wall Street Journal,' paper version.
There's only so many times you can read how ugly you are and how much people hate you.
I've read the 'Book of Revelation' a million times. It does not make sense, obviously. It needs to be decoded.
It's disheartening to read the really negative stuff, but at the same time, I know who I am, and I'm comfortable with myself.
Each time I reach a goal or read a great review, I am beyond pleased.
To buy books would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read them.
