On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
3.5
The book was 80% about King's life and 20% about writing. I wish it was more balanced. The few tips were really good and I would have liked more tips like that. Also, he repeated the tips all the time. That was a bit annoying. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book and it motivated me to write again!

"Im not asking you to come reverently or unquestioningly; I'm not asking you to be politically correct or cast aside your sense of humor (please God you have one). This isn't a popularity contest, it's not the moral Olympics, and it's not church. But it's writing, damn it, not washing the car or putting on eyeliner. If you can take it seriously, we can do business. If you can't or won't, it's time for you to close the book and do something else."
