​"November 1977 interview w/ Ron Rosenbaum
ROSENBAUM: What about your literary influences. You've mentioned Kerouac and Ginsberg. Who do you read now?
DYLAN: Rilke. Chekhov. Chekhov is my favorite writer. I like Henry Miller. I think he's the greatest American writer."
- Bob Dylan: The Essential Interviews
March 1992 interview w/ Stuart Coupe
What has Dylan been reading of late? "My, ah, my latest book...it's been out for a long time, but my latest thing I'm just reading is...back into reading the William Blake poems again. It seems like when you're young and you read them they don't have the effect on you that they do when you get older. It was years ago when it was time just to read all those guys, but lately it's been necessary for me to find some time to go back and re-read someone like Blake or Shelley, Byron, some of those people."
February 1978 interview w/ Philip Fleishman
"Dylan: The whole world is a prison. Life is a prison, we’re all inside the body. Freedom only comes from knowledge and knowledge is power. Sojust because you’re out there in the desert, facing an endless sky and an unknown nothingness, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re free. You’re trapped on the desert. Only knowledge of either yourself or the ultimate power can get you out of it. I don’t know that much. Maclean’s: Who do you read to find out? Dylan: People I read? Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Henry Miller, Joseph Conrad and Melville."
June 1978 interview w/ Philippe Adler
Adler: You often list Henry Miller amongst your influences.
Dylan: Yes. I think that he's the greatest American writer.
Adler: I believe you've met him. What did you talk about?
Dylan: We played table tennis (laughs).
September 1985 interview w/ Scott Cohen
THREE AUTHORS I'D READ ANYTHING BY
Tacitus
Chekhov
Tolstoy
November 1985 interview w/ Denise Worrell
„At certain times I read a lot of poetry. My favorite poets are Shelley and Keats. Rimbaud is so identifiable. Lord Byron. I don't know. Lately if I read poems, it's like I can always hear the guitar. Even with Shakespeare's sonnets I can hear a melody because it's all broken up into timed phrases so I hear it. I always keep thinking, 'What kind of song would this be?“

—  Bob Dylan, Interview with Denise Worrell, "'It's All Right in Front': Dylan on Life and Rock" in Time Magazine (25 November 1985)
