Owning a Bookstore 'Certainly Changed My Relationship to Reading'
"[Owning a bookstore] certainly changed my relationship to reading. I read so many galleys now, books that haven't come out yet. I also have a sense of the books I wish were there and aren't. Those are the books I need to write."
--Ann Patchett, author and owner of Parnassus Books, Nashville, Tenn., whose novel Whistler (Harper) is the #1 June Indie Next List pick, in a q&a with Bookselling This Week
