Se Hinton's Reading List

"To have them appear casually in a novel, yet be very faithful to what we know of them, is great."

"I love the way Barbara Kingsolver followed some of the plot. Also, Demon is a great narrator — talking the way you can imagine him talking, thinking the way you can imagine him thinking."

"Right now I'm reading a whole lot of Dave Barry because of the election. You can't read a page without laughing. That's my comfort read."

"Jane Austen is my favorite writer. I reread her all the time and find something new every time."

"Mary Renault is the writer who's influenced the way I think about things like envy and jealousy and nobility."
