I'm totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that's the section they gave me, and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go. ↗

I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning, like the pure air of the mountains - so simple, so true, if once understood. ↗

I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book. I don't know how many books I will be able to write before I die. It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying - please let me live until I am finished. ↗

I don't know how many good books I still have in me; I hope there are another four or five. ↗

I had no ambition to be a writer because the books I read were too good, my standards were too high. ↗

Many people tell me that they don 't know what to feel when they finish one of my books because the story was dark, or complicated, or strange. But while they were reading it, they were inside my world and they were happy. That's good. ↗

My priority is my books, at least at this point. What I have to do is write the narrative of this time. ↗

I don't think there's anything wrong with someone having to read a poem twice. Or even a book. ↗
