Ruby Wax “I always ask the booksellers to look at me and recommend a book; 9 out of 10, they get it right; it’s usually a book about someone dysfunctional. To me bookstores are like brothels of imagination, each book is luring me over going, “Read me, read me.”
[Ruby Wax, talking as part of the Booksellers’ Association ‘Books Are My Bag’ campaign in support of UK high street bookshops]
I totally get what she means. Books are not inanimate objects! Check out the Books Are My Bag campaign here.
If you agree with Ruby Wax, perhaps you will agree with:-
Barbara Taylor-Bradford – for me it all starts with a memorable character
Rose Tremain – in a sense, writers live their lives twice over
Jane Smiley – setting a daily wordcount encourages the words to flow
