When people ask for book recommendations, I say this: Do some math. If you read one book every week for the rest of your life, and if you're lucky enough to live for 50 more years, you're only going to get to 2,600 books.

Anthony Doerr

I read reviews and consider myself pretty 'plugged in' to the literary cosmos, yet one of the things I love best about book-touring is the opportunity to compare notes with favorite booksellers around the country. I always come home with books by authors I'd never heard of - or books I've read about but didn't realize I might love.

Julia Glass

We get our military people to come back and make recommendations to me and I will follow those recommendations. I will follow them very strongly.

Donald Trump

Everyone in the book's ecology, starting with the author and including the publisher, the distributor, the booksellers, the libraries, and ending up with the reader, should benefit from a healthy book trade.

Philip Pullman

I love bookstores and booksellers. In my novel 'Dirty Martini,' I thanked over 3,000 booksellers by name in the back matter.

J. A. Konrath

If I like a book, I tend to read the author's entire collection. But I choose mainly through personal recommendations, general word of mouth and book reviews.

Randa Abdel-Fattah

I always ask the booksellers to look at me and recommend a book; 9 out of 10, they get it right; it’s usually a book about someone dysfunctional. To me bookstores are like brothels of imagination, each book is luring me over going, 'Read me, read me'.

Ruby Wax

The way we work in public health is, we make the best recommendations and decisions based on the best available data.

Tom Frieden

Anybody who puts a book into someone else's hands inspires me - teachers, librarians, booksellers, parents.

Kate DiCamillo

The best booksellers are like trustworthy pushers: Whatever they're dealing, you take it.

Julia Glass

My genre-hopping has caused problems with marketing and sales departments over the years, because they need to know where to position a book with the booksellers.

F. Paul Wilson

The higher a book's sales ranks, the better chances it has of being noticed by Amazon's internal recommendations engine.

Andrew Shaffer

Don't be afraid to fail. I fail every day. I failed thousands of times writing The Book Thief, and that book now means everything to me. I had many doubts and fears about that book, but some of what I feel are the best ideas in it came to me when I was working away for apparently no result. Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.

Markus Zusak

The secretary of defense makes recommendations, sometimes will make strong recommendations to the president of the United States. But the president, whoever it is at that time, decides, makes the call on whether or not to take that recommendation.

Lee Zeldin

I think we have to reflect on a treaty change that would permit more than surveillance, with recommendations and appropriate sanctions. When recommendations are not followed and sanctions prove ineffective, European institutions should have the capacity to impose the necessary decisions on a particular country.

Jean-Claude Trichet

I consider a decent respect for Christianity among the best recommendations for public service.

John Adams
