What I Hope Is That

I'm Just Doing What I've Done My Whole Life, Which Is Talking To People About Books And Making Them Read. It's What I Do In My Friendships. "here, You Have To Read This, You Have To Read This."

It's A Weird Kind Of Disconnect That This Whole Story [he Miraculous Journey Of Edward Tulane] Grew Around A Real Doll Of Mine, And Here He Is, With His "edward" Expression On His Face. It's Kind Of Reality Bumping Into Fantasy.

I Grew Up In Florida, And I Wanted To Go Home And I Couldn't. I Didn't Have The Money. The Book [the Tiger Rising] Was A Way To Go Home.

I Always Go To The Agriculture Building, Where They Make Apple Cider Popsicles For A Dollar.

Writing Is Seeing. It Is Paying Attention.
