No one reads novels anymore. And I don't see the situation improving. People prefer video games, reality TV, and films. There are so many reasons now not to read novels.
Gore VidalMy family helped start [this country], we've been in political life ... since the 1690s, and I have a very possessive sense about this country.
Gore VidalThat famous writerโs block is a myth as far as Iโm concerned. I think bad writers must have a great difficulty writing. They donโt want to do it. They have become writers out of reasons of ambition. It must be a great strain to them to make marks on a page when they really have nothing much to say, and donโt enjoy doing it. Iโm not so sure what I have to say but I certainly enjoy making sentences.
