Interview #219: Radio Dead Air Interview, Entry #6

Glas Durboraw

When you write, do you have a particular room in the house to study, or an office?

Robert Jordan

I have what I call my office; frankly it’s a three-bedroom apartment in the carriage house behind our house, and the carriage house is divided into two apartments; I have the larger of the two. The walls are lined with bookshelves containing about fourteen thousand volumes at the moment. I keep trying to cull those and get them down, and unfortunately I keep buying more books. I have to steal this answer from Stephen King. He was asked, what is the best thing about having money? The best thing about having money is that I can buy any book I want as soon as it comes out. I don’t have to wait for it to appear in paperback; I don’t have to wait for it to appear on a remaindered table; I can buy it now, and that’s terrific, and unfortunately I do buy it now. So I have fourteen thousand books and going, despite constantly giving away books.

Glas Durboraw

I can sympathize. I have a couple thousand, and I live in a one bedroom apartment, and as it is I keep trying to find out ways I can cut back. I’m not quite sure how to get it set up.

Robert Jordan

There is no way.

Glas Durboraw

You may be right.
