"I'm the happiest person you know. I am an optimist, I'm happy, I love life, I love friends, I love my job. Every day I wake up and I wish I could believe in God, because I want to thank somebody for my wife and for my life. So reading a story or a book isn't going to bring me down."
--Otto Penzler, founder and owner of the Mysterious Bookshop and the Mysterious Press in a Los Angeles Times story about his life and contributions to mystery publishing and bookselling.
