More From Khaled Hosseini

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

One wouldn't want to say that what makes a good writer is the number of books that the writer wrote because you could write a whole number of bad books. books that don't work, mediocre books, or there's a whole bunch of people in the pulp tradition who have done that. they just wrote... and actually they didn't write a whole bunch of books, they just wrote one book many times.

I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words. that’s 180,000 words over a three-month span, a goodish length for a book — something in which the reader can get happily lost, if the tale is done well and stays fresh.

Making a book is such a big enterprise.

All great books contain boring portions, and all great lives have contained uninteresting stretches.
