Ruth Rendell Love Quotations

People who have had a stroke and are recovering from it love being read to... especially by someone who is a good reader - it does help them to get better.

I love memory sticks. They seem to me to be magic.

I don't make any notes, but I do know where to find things. Suppose I need to know where Wexford first talked about his love of the countryside or where he quotes Larkin or what was the beginning of his hatred of racism or where he first encountered domestic violence; I would be able to find it straight away.

I - I love being told by people that they enjoy my books, and I think that's really very nice.

My favourite book - 'The Good Soldier' by Ford Madox Ford, which I have read about 20 times - is different from my favourite author, who is Iris Murdoch. I find her books exciting and unputdownable. Her characters are so carefully studied and in-depth; I love that.

I enjoy moving. I like to be in a new place. Settling down doesn't appeal to me much. I like the whole business of it. And I love the first night in the new place.

Reading is becoming a kind of specialist activity, and that strikes terror into the heart of people who love reading.

I'm not much of a shoe person, but I love a pair by Bruno Magli that I've had for 10 years.
