why i write

Leaving Borders last Saturday afternoon, feeling philosophical about how many millions of books there are out there, and how long (LONG) it takes me to write a single one, musing about competition, industry, marketplace…

And then this: a man walking in, then a huge intake of breath. “There it is!” he gasped to his companion.

I don’t know which book it was, catching his eye, but I wish I could bottle that mixture of wonder and anticipation when confronted with books.

I think it would keep me writing for weeks on end…—jl
