I love real books, paper books, but I also love buying online, and I think that people are more willing to take a chance to read something if it’s cheaper - sometimes books on the Kindle are $6. A hardback book is $25. For $25, it better be a really great book. Or you’re going to be mad Picture Quote #1

By the time I was 5, I was already an outcast. It was the early 1960s, and I was part of the only Jewish family in a decidedly Christian suburb of Waltham, Mass Picture Quote #1

My dirty little secret is I don’t drive at all, though I have my license and I renew it every five years. I’m phobic. I keep worrying if I drive, I’ll end up killing someone. I hoped that by writing about a car crash, I might understand and heal this phobia, but I didn’t! I’m still phobic Picture Quote #1

If a kid disappears, now there’s Amber Alerts: they know this-this-this. In the 50s, we kids wandered around. Nobody knew what you were doing Picture Quote #1

While some of the big publishers might give out 200,000 advances, if your book does not hit some of the lists in the second week, they stop paying attention to you Picture Quote #1

Oh, I’ve had terrible, terrible relationships! The fact that I ever got happily married to a great, normal man is kind of a miracle Picture Quote #1

I had always known that I was Jewish - we celebrated the holidays, we went to a synagogue - but I had never known that I was supposed to feel ashamed about it Picture Quote #1

I just love that feeling of being in another world, of creating characters and watching where they go Picture Quote #1
