I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw. Margaret Atwood
I liked the books I read that said things like 'I shan't'. I would try to find a way to say in my life, to reply, 'I shan't do that, mother.' That was so far away from my barrio world. Sandra Cisneros
I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning. Judy Blume
I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read - they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting. Russell banks
I must have been 3 years old or less, and I remember paging through these comics, trying to figure out the stories. I couldn't read the words, so I made up my own stories. Daniel Clowes
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train. Oscar Wilde
I read Freud because I find him an excellent writer... a writer of police thrillers that can be followed with great passion. Italo Calvino
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now. Jonathan Carroll
I read nonfiction almost exclusively - both for research and also for pleasure. When I read fiction, it's almost always in the thriller genre, and it needs to rivet me in the opening few chapters. Dan Brown
I read nonfiction almost exclusively - both for research and also for pleasure. When I read fiction, it's almost always in the thriller genre, and it needs to rivet me in the opening few chapters. I don't read horror, ever. Dan Brown
I read very widely, both non-fiction and fiction, so I don't think there's a single writer who influences me. Peter Benchley
I remember I used to come up to my teacher crying because I couldn't read. She would say: 'You can do this. You just don't want to do this.' Max Brooks
