I usually have four or five books going at any one time.

Two of them are probably research for what I'm writing, what I'm working on, sort of, you

One of them will be a novel that was recommended to me that sort of something new that I should read.

And then the other two will be things that came by my desk that looked interesting that I'll be dipping into.

I might finish or might not finish.

But I always have a lot of books going at once, which is I have to say, I know this doesn't make everyone happy, but I do read on a tablet.

I mean, of course, I also read paper books, real books online.

and believe in them.

But when I travel, I'm going to need to carry 20 books with me.

So I love that I can always have them in my purse, you know.

And there's something at hand always.

So like, see, my worst fear is to be stuck someplace with nothing to read.

That is a horror.

Right?

It is the worst, the worst nightmare.

So in the doctor's waiting room, or even at a particularly long red traffic light, I've got something to read right there.

So what type of reader were you as a child?

I had a rural childhood.

I lived in a very little town, spent a lot of time outdoors, and I had kind of an unusually unsupervised childhood.

So I wasn't supplied with the usual young adult fare or childhood fare.
