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). | |

| I loved this book. The writing is immersive, so it reads more like a novel than a memoir. Kudos to the author for sharing thoughtful reflections not only on his own past and challenges (e.g., isolation and fatigue) but also on issues that affect all ...more | |

| I enjoyed this ambitious book. To be clear, I mean ambitious from a writer's perspective, not from a reader's. It's an easy read, but I think the author was trying to cover a lot of ground here--and largely succeeded. Kudos. ...more | |
