Quite often I can be in a bookshop, standing beneath a great big picture of myself and paying for a book with a credit card clearly marked John Grisham, yet no one recognises me. I often say I'm a famous author in a country where no one reads.

Summary
In this quote, John Grisham, a renowned author, reflects on the irony of his fame as a writer. Despite being in a bookshop and even paying with a credit card bearing his name, he amusingly reveals that he often goes unrecognized. He humorously suggests that he is a famous author in a country where reading is not widely practiced. This tongue-in-cheek remark points out the paradoxical nature of fame and the sometimes underappreciated art of literature.
