Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott
BOOK
Why I Read It: Tori said it was good.
Rating: 4/5
This is Anne Lamott's book on writing. I enjoyed her opinions and entertaining take on everything. For example, her discussions on rejection were absolutely hilarious. The only other author-written book on writing that I had read before was Stephen King's, and I agreed with Lamott's views much more than I had with his. Also, his seemed to be half memoir while hers was strictly about writing and how it effected her life. I highly reccomend this book to anybody who's trying to get started with writing, and whoever still has Tori's copy - give it back. Now.
Sample Quote: "You couldn't have had any way of knowing what this peice of work would look like when you first started. You just knew that there was something about these people that compelled you, and you stayed with that something long enough for it to show you what it was about."
