Yann Martel : (4) " Books are something social – a writer speaking to a reader – so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea. " - Yann Martel " My next book – each one while I’m working on it – dances in my mind and thrills me at every turn. If it didn’t, why would I write it? " - Yann Martel " I’m not a consumer. I hate buying clothes. I don’t have a mobile. I just don’t need things. I don’t like things. " - Yann Martel " I am not an autobiographical writer. " - Yann Martel
