From a New York Times By the Book interview headlined “As a Reader, Mo Willems Gives Himself Permission to Quit”:
Describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how).
It’s a joy to read a few pages in my library in the evenings. Weekend reading outside is also wonderful. But I think I most love a reading lunch with my wife, because we get to chat about what we’ve just read over coffee.
What’s your favorite book no one else has heard of?
I hope people have heard of Keith Houston’s book “The Book.” It’s a great book about the history of books.
