If you enjoy reading something, read it.
I enjoy reading and thinking, and it's hard to make that space as an artist.
I do enjoy reading some science fiction.
I used to enjoy reading true crime, but I've discovered that I don't have the journalism nose for blood.
I read a lot. I enjoy reading a lot.
One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading.
It's just a matter of writing the kind of book I enjoy reading. Something better be happening at the beginning, and then on every page after, or I get irritated.

Literacy is so much entwined in our lives that we often fail to realize that the act of reading is a miracle that is evolving under our fingertips.
Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own.
'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it.
I never understood the concept of a fluffy summer read. For me, summer reading means beaches, long train rides and layovers in foreign airports. All of which call for escaping into really long books.
