Nick Hornby Books Quotations

The process you have to go through to get a book published is quite difficult, because books are judged by essentially serious-minded people.

I write the books I want to write, and readers will either respond or not respond.

Books are long. Even mine. You don't want to feel bad about them as you're writing them.

On top of that, I'm pretty sick of working on the books by the time they're published.

But I reserve the right to write the kinds of books I feel like writing.

I came away with the idea that I'd like to write books the way people write screenplays. I think I'm not going to let another line go through unexamined.
