George Saunders: I’m not a systematic reader at all. I just leave books piled up all over the place (in my writing room, and by my bed), then read whatever calls out to me. A few weeks ago I bought a bunch of “Collected Stories of ***” (Collected Stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; The Elephant Vanishes, by Haruki Murakami; Going to Meet the Man, by James Baldwin, The Complete Stories by Zora Neale Hurston; Insurrections, by Rion Amilcar Scott; White Cat, Black Dog, by Kelly Link; The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty) and have been trying to keep to a discipline of reading two stories a day.
