James Patterson
Walking over to Iggy, he poked him with his shoe. Does anysing on you vork properly? Iggy rubbed his forehead with one hand. Well, I have a highly developed sense of irony.
James Patterson
You were designed to be very smart, Max, she told me. We electrically stimulated your synaptic nerve endings while your brain was developing. And yet I still can't program my DVD player, I said.
James Patterson
Every once in a while, I'll have a 'Do you know who I am?' moment, at least in my head. I hate that.

I do 30 to 40 books a year, so it's a fair amount of reading. Back and forth between nonfiction and fiction. I usually have three or four things that are open on my desk, on my bed, on audiobook in the car.
James Patterson
