I wonder what book signings will be like when most of the books we read are electronic. will authors sign something else? a flyer, perhaps? a special kind of card devised for the purpose?

More From Susan Orlean

In some ways it's hard to see electronic music as a genre because the word "electronic" just refers to how it's made. hip-hop is electronic music. most reggae is electronic. pop is electronic. house music, techno, all these sorts of ostensibly disparate genres are sort of being created with the same equipment.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

Are my characters copies of people in real life? ... don't ever believe the stories about authors putting people into novels. that idea is a kind of joke on both authors and readers. all the readers believe that authors do it. all the authors know that it can't be done.

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.

I like to read biographies of authors that i love, like richard yates. i also like to see what non-fiction authors are out there. my bible is something happened. it's one of the greatest books i've ever read. but if i don't read a dostoevsky soon i'm going to kill myself.

I think 'the giver' is such a moral book, so filled with important truths, that i couldn't believe anyone would want to suppress it, to keep it from kids.

A writer of books has to admit that film is the enemy, and that in my case i have been sleeping with the enemy.

I've always read a lot of historical books and i'm a big fan of documentaries, and i've always thought of ways to do it.

My parents would frisk me before family events, and find the book, and lock it in the car. and then be disappointed where, somewhere at the event, i would find a book and sit under a table where nobody could get me and go back into book land.
