Never think of not taking a book with you.

I’m sitting here all happy listening to music

Then somebody talks at me

So when I think they’re done, I turn my music back on

But they’re not done, and start speaking to me again and I’m just like…

this is me

It’s worse when I’m reading a book.

The secret is to get children reading. As long as it’s not sex-laden or seditious or violent it doesn’t matter what they read. I want them to be able to absorb books, not be frightened of them. If you can teach them that at ages eight, nine, ten or eleven, they have a great start. The contents of my books are not going to teach them anything at all, except to grip them by the throat and make them love to read. To me that’s very important. A non-book reader in this life is either going to finish up as a lavatory attendant, or a bricklayer, or worse.
