I am always the source of the worst rumors about myself.

For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone. Perhaps if I was depressed and isolated, just communicating with these authors through their sentences helped me.

I don't laugh that much, but I do like humorous books, and I like to entertain readers that way.

People don't expect too much from literature. They just want to know they're not alone with being confused.
