Romance novels are my favorite books to read. I write young adult romances, and am so happy to be promoting this wonderful genre. Simone Elkeles
So, whenever I'm writing, I'm writing in the presence of all the other books I've read and I think we all are. Justin Cronin
Sure, women sportswriters look when they're in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word? Bob Uecker
Teenage girls read in packs. It's true today, and it was true when I was a teen growing up in a small town in northeast Oklahoma. Ally Carter
Teenage readers also have a different relationship with the authors whose work they value than adult readers do. I loved Toni Morrison, but I don't have any desire to follow her on Twitter. I just want to read her books. John Green
That literary-popular distinction is, in my view, vastly overstated. At the far poles there are clearly books that are purely commercial and purely literary, written for audiences that want to see the same thing enacted over and over and over again. But the middle is where most people read and most people write. Justin Cronin
The best thing you can do when you're not feeling funny is go out and get more stimuli from the world, get out and walk around, read a book, go talk to some birds or a dog and replenish the well, as it were. Rob Delaney
The book I always say that influenced me, subconsciously, because at the time I didn't know I wanted to be a writer, was William Goldman's 'Marathon Man.' That was the first adult thriller that I loved. I read it when I was 15 or so, when my father gave it to me. Harlan Coben
The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers. Judy Blume
The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it - and sometimes three. Heraclitus Read more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/h/heraclitus.html#tFjAzztj03Pk7bwM.99 Heraclitus
The Classics are those books which constitute a treasured experience for those who have read and loved them; but they remain just as rich an experience for those who reserve the chance to read them for when they are in the best condition to enjoy them. Italo Calvino

The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. Oscar Wilde
The New York Times Bestseller 'The Amateur,' written by Ed Klein, former editor of the 'New York Times Magazine,' is one of the best books I've read.Fran Tarkenton
The process of writing a novel begins with a pang, a moment of recognition, and a situation, a character, or something you read in a paper, that seems to go off, like a solar flare inside your head. Martin Amis
The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling - that you'd take on vacation and rather than going out, you'd read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully that's what readers are responding to. Harlan Coben
The thing that happened to me and must happen to any writer who's had success is that I temporarily became very self-aware. Instead of writing and saying, 'This is what the character does,' you say, 'Wait, millions of people are going to read this.' It's sort of like a tennis player who thinks too hard about a stroke - you're temporarily crippled. Dan Brown
