Two adjacent chapter titles in which are embedded the secret of writing: Always Outline! (by Jeffrey Deaver) and Never Outline! (by Lee Child). ;-) Read more of this blog post »

| Beautifully written, but not always an easy read (not because of the prose, which is exquisite, but because of what humans have done to the rivers of the world). | |
