They say you don't want to know how sausage is made. Book coverage is like sausage in that way: better not to know exactly how the gatekeepers of mainstream media choose which books to crown as must-reads each season - just swallow it down with a cold beer and call it a night.

Camille Perri

Those that respect the law and love sausage should watch neither being made.

Mark Twain

There are two things nobody should ever have to watch being made, sausage and laws.

Mark Twain

People who love sausage and respect the law should never watch either being made.

Mark Twain

What I don't like so much is people who - how do you say this? - who make judgments over the genre of reality like it's television from the devil, and that's something that I don't like because I think everybody should watch what they like. It's a free world. It's a form of democracy. If you like it, watch. If you don't like it, don't watch.

John de Mol, Jr.

People who love sausage and people who believe in justice should never watch either of them being made

Otto von Bismarck

I didn't like my mouth because I always felt like it was a sausage for a bottom lip, and I have an overbite, so I can't exactly close my mouth. It's really, really hard! But now I like it because it's kind of sultry, and it's my mouth. I should say I don't consider my bottom lip a sausage lip now - I like it, but I guess I grew into it. I definitely saved a couple hundred bucks instead of getting fillers.

Ayesha Curry

A novel is like a sausage. You might like the final taste but you don't want to see how it was made.

Harlan Coben

I know I look like a piece of sausage to those lions. A sausage with braids.

Cody Lundin

I love horror movies and I love being scared, but I don't like them, if they're not based on a true story. It's like knowing how the sausage is made.

Olivia Munn

As Popa penetrates deeper into his life, with book after book, it begins to look like a Universe passing through a Universe. It is one of the most exciting things in modern poetry, to watch this journey being made.

Ted Hughes

A film, since it is primarily a visual medium, should really be like a silent film. You should be able to watch something and understand what was going on and use voice when you need to communicate something you can't necessarily communicate visually. The book is the opposite. The book is an inner monologue which is beautiful.

Tom Ford

I eat 'The Walking Dead' like its made of brains. Can't even watch the show, I love the book so much.

Joss Whedon

I think titles are tricky because they're like a really short ad for the book. And like an ad, they should open the door in a way that might be more accessible than the book itself. So I always like titles to be familiar. I'm not trying to break ground with the title itself. The title should feel like something already celebrated.
