People - me included - want to get excited about books. Good books are a good thing.
Lev Grossman
The novel is a highly corrupt medium, after all - in the end the vast majority of them simply aren't that great, and are destined to be forgotten.
Lev Grossman
I'm not a Dickens guy. In grad school I had to take at least one course on the Victorians, so I took The Later Dickens, because that was what there was.
Lev Grossman
It's natural for a child to assume that his or her own childhood is unremarkable.
Lev Grossman
I loved fantasy, but I particularly loved the stories in which somebody got out of where they were and into somewhere better - as in the 'Chronicles Of Narnia,' 'The Wizard Of Oz,' 'The Phantom Tollbooth,' the 'Dungeons & Dragons' cartoon on Saturday morning in the '80s.
Lev Grossman
I recognize that on paper, you can't really tell that I'm a fan or a nerd.
Lev Grossman
The real world is horrible.
Lev Grossman
There's a special gut-check moment the first time you write a scene in which somebody casts a spell.
Lev Grossman

Lev Grossman
I went to college at Harvard, then did three years of graduate school at Yale. At both places I studied comparative literature. People find it odd that I went to both Harvard and Yale, and I guess it is odd, but that's just what people did where I grew up.
Lev Grossman
I came from an anxious, overly intense East Coast academic family. That was the way of our tribe.
Lev Grossman
Supposedly I've got traces of an English accent, though I can't hear it. I must have inherited it from my mother, who's English, and then I think it was exacerbated by the fact that I live with an Australian.
Lev Grossman
I studied the cello for a long time, from when I was little up through college.
Lev Grossman
I used to write in a local coffee shop, but there was another guy, another writer, who kept sitting in my favorite seat. I would show up, and he would be there, and I would get exiled to a couch or something, and it would throw me off my game.
Lev Grossman
Until now, I've been a kind of binge-writer - I'll carve out five or six hours on a weekend day and make a large container of espresso and just bang out a lot of words.
Lev Grossman
I think every fantasy reader secretly believes they know how magic works.
Lev Grossman
I never thought about doing a sequel when I was actually writing 'The Magicians.' I only ever considered it a standalone.
Lev Grossman
My book group has one rule: no books for adults. We read young adult fiction only.
