David Nicholls Children Quotations

I work three days at home, and two days in the British Library or the London Library, just to get out of the house and hide from the children.

For the best part of my childhood I visited the local library three or four times a week, hunching in the stacks on a foam rubber stool and devouring children's fiction, classics, salacious thrillers, horror and sci-fi, books about cinema and origami and natural history, to the point where my parents encouraged me to read a little less.
