"Ketika saya sampai di perguruan tinggi, saya sudah berhenti membaca buku karena saya ingin "menjadi keren" dan mulai membaca buku hanya karena saya ingin membacanya. Saya menemukan pahlawan seperti Roth, Raja, Dahl, Shirley Jackson, Patricia Highsmith, TC Boyle, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, David Sedaris. Orang-orang ini tidak berusaha "memberontak melawan kemapanan sastra." Mereka berusaha menulis buku-buku bagus dan berkualitas tinggi yang menghibur dan menggerakkan mungkin."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

By the time I got to college I had stopped reading books because I wanted to "be cool" and started reading books simply because I wanted to read them. I discovered heroes like Roth, King, Dahl, Shirley Jackson, Patricia Highsmith, TC Boyle, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, David Sedaris. These people weren't trying to "rebel against the literary establishment." They were trying to write great, high-quality books that were as entertaining and moving as possible.
