Jonathan Lethem Pages Quotations

With a book you can read the same paragraph four times. You can go back to page 21 when you're on page 300. You can't do that with film. It just charges ahead.

Waves, sky, trees, Essrog - I was off the page now, away from the grammar of skyscrapers and pavement.

I don't really ask of myself a given word or page count or number of hours. To work every day, that's my only fetish. And there is a physical quality to it when a novel is thriving.
