I Feel That As Much As I

People Often Ask Me If I'm Working On A Book. That's Not How I Feel. I Feel Like I Work In A Book. It's Like Putting Myself Under A Spell. And This Spell, If You Will, Is So Real To Me That If I Have To Leave My Work For A Few Days, I Have To Work Myself Back Into The Spell When I Come Back. It's Almost Like Hypnosis.

I Had Been Writing For About Twelve Years. I Knew Pretty Well How You Could Find Things Out, But I Had Never Been Trained In An Academic Way How To Go About The Research.

I Love All Sides Of The Work But That Doesn't Mean It Isn't Hard.

And Read… Read All The Time… Read As A Matter Of Principle, As A Matter Of Self-respect. Read As A Nourishing Staple Of Life.

Nothing Ever Invented Provides Such Sustenance, Such Infinite Reward For Time Spent, As A Good Book.
