Popular Books Quotes

That literary-popular distinction is, in my view, vastly overstated. At the far poles there are clearly books that are purely commercial and purely literary, written for audiences that want to see the same thing enacted over and over and over again. But the middle is where most people read and most people write Picture Quote #1
Theorists write all the popular books on science: Heinz Pagels, Frank Wilczek, Stephen Hawking, Richard Feynman, et al. And why not? They have all that spare time Picture Quote #1
Teen problem novels? I can go through them like a box of chocolates. And there are fantasy books out now that need a lot more editing. Fantasy got to be so popular that people began to think ‘We don’t need to be as diligent with the razor blade,’ but they do Picture Quote #1
I was big into mythology when I was a kid - Arthurian legends and Greek mythology, that was kind of my passion. I hadn’t heard of the books, but I was told they were very popular amongst the kids, so I got a hold of them and read them. I totally got it! Picture Quote #1
For most of us, fanfiction is a non-issue. Even for midlist writers. We will never be popular enough for people to play in our worlds with any frequency. The problem for us is getting people to read and care about our books that much in the first place Picture Quote #1
As any student of literature knows, the books that last are often not the books that are most popular when they are written. Both ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’ were complete failures, critically and commercially, when they first appeared Picture Quote #1

I was never allowed to read the popular American children's books of my day because, as my mother said, the children spoke bad English without the author's knowing it Picture Quote #1
Publishers, naturally, loathe used books and have developed strategies to depress the secondhand market. They bring out new, even more expensive editions of popular textbooks every three to four years, in a classic cycle of planned obsolescence Picture Quote #1
I know that I am very popular in Holland, in fact I have visited Amsterdam several times to publicize my books. I have a great publisher in Holland and they have published all of my books in Dutch Picture Quote #1
Isn’t it strange that I who have written only unpopular books should be such a popular fellow? Picture Quote #1
