Only when I read a truly great novel do I feel that I have
lived an alternate life that might actually teach me some lessons,
so that I don’t have to learn them myself. My favorite book is
Remains of the Day. When I read Remains of the
Day I feel like I understand extreme life regret in a way
that I hopefully will never experience in my own life—I don’t want
to. You get to live somebody else’s life, and it’s very hard to get
that emotional closeness, I think, from any other media type,
still. So I think there is a place for great books and will
continue to be, hopefully forever.
