1. I read omnivorously, I always have, my entire life. I would rather be dead than not read. So, there’s always time for that. I read while I eat, and our whole family did. We all had very bad manners at the table. All of our books are stained with spaghetti sauce, and that sort of thing.
    — Edna Annie Proulx, author of The Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain, on one of my favorite bad habits.
