I would sooner read ordsprog

en I would sooner read a time-table or a catalogue than nothing at all. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written.
  William Somerset Maugham

en It is very difficult to talk about plagiarism in terms of themes between novels. Otherwise there wouldn't be that many novels written because everyone feeds off everybody else.

en [Claire travels in time. And while she and Jamie do fall in love, their story is not so much the stuff of sighs and moans (well, not just that anyway) as it is a grand adventure written on a canvas that probes the heart, weighs the soul and measures the human spirit across 10 generations. These are genre-bending novels, and that's just one of many reasons that people read them.] Historical romance is not what I write, ... I've always called them historical fantasias.

en I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.

en New Journalism was such the rage with authors like Tom Wolfe and John McPhee. All I kept hearing was that non-fiction was so much more interesting than the novels being written at that time.

en When I was growing up, I always read horror books, while my sister read romance novels.

en There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. With a well-written book I only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. With a poorly written book I read every word.
  Marshall McLuhan

en Writing this book was incredibly fun because I soaked in the bathtub, laid around eating chocolate in bed, cooked dinner for my family and read novels the whole time.

en He would read scores like most of us read novels. Even at the end of his life, when he wasn't conducting any more, he would sit down and read scores without any music going — just hearing the music in his head.

en The sooner we stop this war, the sooner we sit at the negotiation table in the U.N. Security Council, the faster we'll be able to solve the problems that are of concern.

en The theory on my part is to read; reading is the answer. Read anything that you can get your hands on. I would try to make sure that the author has something to say. Take a wide selection of authors: old, new, prose, poets, novels, epics, and all that stuff. ..Think about it and find something to talk about.

en As strange as this may sound, I very seldom read fiction. Because my novels require so much research, almost everything I read is non-fiction-histories, biographies, translations of ancient texts.
  Dan Brown

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Jag hade en gång en ros uppkallad efter mig och blev mycket smickrad. Men jag var inte nöjd med att läsa beskrivningen i katalogen: ingen bra i en säng, men fin mot en vägg. (Jag fick en gång en ros uppkallad efter mig och blev väldigt hedrad.
