Robert GalbraithThe whole world's writing novels, but nobody's reading them.
About This Quote
The whole world's writing novels, but nobody's reading them. This quote is a bit of a double-entendre because it means that no one is reading any of the novels being written. But secondly, it means that no one is reading any of the novels being written. In other words, everyone's writing a novel and has someone who will read it. The second half of this quote could also be interpreted as meaning that no one is reading the novels being written by the whole world, which would be a pretty ironic view of things.
