One of the convenient things about literature is that, despite copyrights [...] a book belongs to the reader as well as to the writer Picture Quote #1

Would you buy a book proudly stating on the cover that its reader is a dummy? Or would you think of course it’s ironic? Picture Quote #1

Explaining the moment of connection between a reader and book to someone who’s never experienced it is like trying to describe sex to a virgin Picture Quote #1

More than working toward the book’s climax, I work toward the denouement. As a reader and a writer, that’s where I find the real satisfaction Picture Quote #1

I’m a voracious reader - I always have a book on the go and read for at least half an hour, usually more, every night Picture Quote #1

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one Picture Quote #1

I’m a fan of meeting readers face to face, at reader events, where we’re able to sit down and take some time to talk. Too often, at regular book signings, I meet readers who have traveled six or eight hours to see me, and I’m unable to spend more than a few short minutes chatting with them as I sign books Picture Quote #1

The first book you write because of the way it makes you feel. The second one you can’t help but wonder how it’s going to make the reader feel Picture Quote #1

I am a passionate reader, having been tutored very early by my mother. I avidly devoured all books on chemistry that I could find.

Trust your reader. Not everything needs to be explained. If you really know something, and breathe life into it, they’ll know it too Picture Quote #1

The Word God wastes nothing and He heals two broken hearts with one story - the reader and the writer Picture Quote #1

I tend to spend a lot of time building characters that the reader will believe in and sympathize with Picture Quote #1

As authors, we all have to learn not to be reactive to public statements about our books. It’s really not our business what each reader thinks of them Picture Quote #1

Writing a novel is an intense and lonely business, but you have the reward at the end of a very direct dialogue between you and the reader Picture Quote #1

Whenever you’re writing a book or creating a movie or a game, your first task is to get the reader to suspend disbelief, to buy into the logic and boundaries of your world, even though those boundaries might include things like dragons and magic Picture Quote #1

There’s a difference between describing and evoking something. You can describe something and be quite clinical about it. To evoke it, you call it up in the reader. That’s what writers do when they’re good Picture Quote #1

I’ve still not written as well as I want to. I want to write so that the reader in Des Moines, Iowa, in Kowloon, China, in Cape Town, South Africa, can say, ‘You know, that’s the truth. I wasn’t there, and I wasn’t a six-foot black girl, but that’s the truth.’ Picture Quote #1

But I care about the reader, and I’m trying to keep the reader’s attention for as long as I can Picture Quote #1

I care what my reader thinks. There is no fancy recommendation you can give me that would matter to me as much as Mary Jane from Youngstown writing me a letter. There is not one. Don’t need it, don’t want it, don’t require it, does not fill up my soul. It’s about her, not about the rest of it Picture Quote #1

I’m a pop culture junkie. I’m a People magazine reader, an US Weekly subscriber; all of those celebrity magazines get my dollar Picture Quote #1

The appeal of the spectrally macabre is generally narrow because it demands from the reader a certain degree of imagination and a capacity for detachment from everyday life Picture Quote #1
