Lev Grossman quotes - page 4

I never thought about doing a sequel when I was actually writing 'The Magicians.' I only ever considered it a standalone. (Lev Grossman)

A novel with a bad middle is a bad book. A bad ending is something I've just gotten in the habit of forgiving.

Lev Grossman

And I'm not as young as I once was. At my age, I don't have time to be bored.

Lev Grossman

Being a writer can be isolating. It's good to be among readers and booksellers.

Lev Grossman

I guess I was raised in a household with a lot of reverence for the physical sanctity of books. You didn't destroy books.

Lev Grossman

I mean, when you're tired of book reviews, you're tired of life.

Lev Grossman

Until now, I've been a kind of binge-writer - I'll carve out five or six hours on a weekend day and make a large container of espresso and just bang out a lot of words.

Lev Grossman

I've only read three books by Stephen King. When I was 10 I read 'The Long Walk,' one of his pseudonymous Bachman books. In my early 20s, while trapped on a family vacation, I read 'The Dark Half,' which taught me a word I have never forgotten: psychopomp. Now I have read '11/22/63.'

Lev Grossman

I don't know if I've ever derived such an immediate sense of calm and well-being from any book as I did from 'Right Ho, Jeeves.' It was like I was Pac-Man and the book was a power-up.
