emotional funny informative inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

While Bird by Bird is an incredibly helpful instructional manual on how to write, it is so much more than that. Anne Lamott not only shares her wisdom on writing, she shares her wisdom on life. She uses both humorous and heart-breaking stories to teach us, her students, these lessons on writing and life. I never read a book before that made me laugh out loud and then cry a few paragraphs later. She is a masterful writer. I can't recommend this book highly enough, even to those who don't have any desire to write.
