I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.

At the moment, I'm enjoying John Grisham quite a bit.

What’s ready? Was Steinback ready? Hemingway? Shakespeare? Dickens? Jane Austen? They just did it, didn’t they?

Remember me? I'm back to my old self again. No responsibilities, no attachments, no encumbrances. I don't want to own anything, love anyone, or get too attached to people, places or things. It's a rule that seems to work well for me.

I did it at night because I loved it. I never did it to make money, as a job. I just did it because I had to.

I have a few obsessions in life, and one is shoes!

It would be hard for me to overestimate the importance of reading. Nothing can expand the mind and heart like the magic al world of books. .... Our libraries are an essential resource for our children, our communities, and our future.
