It's always better to have too much to read than not enough.

That's important to me, to recommend books.

We have different kinds of intimacy with many, many people. I'm disappointed by well-written novels that only deal with two or three people.

In this life we love who we love. There were some stories in which facts were very nearly irrelevant.

Anytime you write about priests or cops, they're hot-button professions.
