More From Rumer Godden

Whether the author intended a symbolic resonance to exist in her book is irrelevant. all that matters is whether it's there. because the book does not exist for the benefit of the author, the book exists for the benefit of you. if we as readers can have a bigger and richer experience with the world as a result of reading a symbol and that symbol wasn't intended by the author, we still win.
Book Reading Winning
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

There is an enormous redundancy in every well-written book. with a well-written book i only read the right-hand page and allow my mind to work on the left-hand page. with a poorly written book i read every word.

To show you how radical i am, i want carjackers dead. i want rapists dead. i want burglars dead. i want child molesters dead. i want the bad guys dead. no court case. no parole. no early release. i want 'em dead. get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em.

An author writes a book, and that's the book at that point. and if the author writes the book again, then somehow something has gone wrong, if you see what i mean.

I think fans are just obsessed with the 'twilight' saga and then within it they might have preferences between if they're team jacob, team edward or team jasper. it just comes down to them loving the whole thing, and if they can get any of the boys from the book they are fine with that.
Team Book Twilight
People have to have the desire within themselves to find out who they are. who am i and what am i doing here and where am i going? those sort of basic questions. even without picking up a book or anything. if they just ask themselves that sincerely, in the quiet of the night, the door will open.

It's true that i wouldn't have written the first book had my sister and mother been alive. it was my way of continuing our conversation. it's also this jewish thing of naming and remembering people, and i think there is a sense of keeping that side of life going.

Often it's the latest novel that i've written that is my favourite. i'd been dreaming it for so long, living and breathing its story so that when it finally arrives as a newly published book, smelling wonderful and fresh out of the box, there is nothing like it.
