“A book is completed only when it is finished by a reader.”
“A writer only begins a book. A reader finishes it.”
“I don't care if a reader hates one of my stories, Just as long as he finishes the book.”
“All readers are good readers, when they have the right book.”
“Few things linger longer or become more indwelling than that feeling of both completion and emptiness when a great book ends. That the book accompanies the reader forever from that day forward is part of literature's profligate generosity.”
“I guess that’s the beauty of books. When they finish they don’t really finish.”
