Jack Gantos Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: b. July 2, 1951
Birthday: July 2
Since I was trying so hard to make books lead my life, I didn’t want to read them and then just put them back on the shelf and say, “good book,” as if I was patting a good dog. I wanted books to change me, and I wanted to write books that would change others.
