I always have kind of a few books going at the same time.
I cannot bear not to know the end of a tale. I will read the most trivial things – once commenced – only out of a feverish greed to be able to swallow the ending – sweet or sour – and to be done with what I need never have embarked on. Are you in my case? Or are you a more discriminating reader? Do you lay aside the unprofitable?
I like to read the ending first.
I always have several books on the go at any one moment, so it's no good you asking 'What's on the bedside table at the moment, Emma?' because often I can't even see the table!
I don't think I've ever read a food piece or a food book.
I manage to read about one book a month, all fantasy these days.
The only question I'd be interested in is what books other celebrities have read recently, which is part of my campaign to promote reading.
When I am writing novels I don't read a lot of novels so I try to catch up in-between.
I always have a few different books going at once.
I read in a weird way. It comes in waves, and then I start, like, five different books at once. It takes me six months to a year to finish them all, since I read mostly on planes.
