When people ask for book recommendations, I say this: Do some math. If you read one book every week for the rest of your life, and if you're lucky enough to live for 50 more years, you're only going to get to 2,600 books.
I have about 3,500 books, maybe more.
There were 900 books on Washington when I began writing on him.
I don't know how many good books I still have in me; I hope there are another four or five.
If you're lucky enough to have 70 years of literate adulthood, and if you read one book every week, you're still only going to get to 3,640 books.
I have written about 240 books and some short stories, too. It's taken me many years.
No, there's no University for Wizards. At the moment I'm only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won't say "never," but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
I knew nothing about the technique of story writing, and now, after eighteen years of writing, I still know nothing about the technique, although with the publication of my new novel, Tarzan and the Lost Empire, there are 31 books on my list.
I try to read 20 books a year.
Books in a large university library system: 2,000,000. Books in an average large city library: 10,000. Average number of books in a chain bookstore: 30,000. Books in an average neighborhood branch library: 20,000.
Counting the ones I've co-edited, I guess about 28 or 29 [books I've written].
No trilogy should have more than four books.
'Irma Voth' is my sixth book, but it's only the third time I've featured Mennonite settings and characters.
So far it's 43 books in 25 years.
I won't say 'never,' but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
My first published book, 'Story of a Girl', was the fourth book I wrote.
All books should be trilogies; I mean I think we all agree on that.
Senator Patrick Moynihan wrote more books than most people have ever read.
Tim Russert had worked on the Senator’s staff.
Already by 1900 I could boast I had written as many books as Moses.
I think now I'm up to something like 85 different titles that I've published.
There are bits and pieces of me probably in every one of my 35 or so books.
