do you buy a lot of books?

yes, i do — used books and e-books, though. i sort of have my own library. i have A LOT of books. if i had space i’d have more books — ‘cause i want to buy like half a used bookstore every time i walk into one — but every time i move i have to get rid of like 50 books and even now i have boxes of books with no place to put them. i used to collect magazines too but i’ve had to get rid of most of them except the really really special ones because of space.

i think generally it’s important to pay it forward. i want people to buy books, and when i write my book i want people to buy it. so i have to build good book karma.

anyhow, i reference the books i have a lot. so maybe when i’m older and have an actual house for a real person, then i will have some kind of fabulous library and you can come over and we can read together!
