'How do you write? The best way I know is simply, do it. Just sit down and do it. There is no other available advice. And if you don’t know what you want to write, you sit down and write about how you don’t know what to write. After a page of that, ideas start to flow.'

    'Wild About Books – essays on books and writing, about reading them and writing them, and publishing them and collecting them and preserving them in libraries. Essays about the shared experience of literature, the art and craft of writing, the pleasures of reading, the survival of five hundred years of print culture, together with reflections and suggestions on creative writing, on what to do, and how to do it, and on what I’ve done, and why I wrote this book and how I wrote that one, together with anecdotes from other writers’ experiences, from writers in person, and from the books they have written.'
