Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott

5.0

I absolutely devoured this book. I read this book to tick off a reading prompt for Pop Sugars 2020 reading challenge, and ended up falling head over heels for it. I do this thing where I prefer to read a book without knowing anything about it. I googled my prompt, this book showed up and I read it. That was my big research, and you know what, 8 times out of 10 it turns out pretty well, but this time I feel like I hit a home run. Not only did I get a couple good belly laughs out of this author's hilarious sense of humor, but it inspired me, at least for the moment, to start back up on my great American novel. I don't know how anyone can sit there and read this book and give it anything less than 5 stars, especially if they knew what they were getting themselves into. My guess is that they were upset that the author did not believe that getting published was the cure to what woes them.
