It's a "megapack," which is a double-edged sword (and sorcery!). That means there are some well-written pieces and some clunkers that could have been left out of the anthology. That said, you get 700+ pages for about $7, so there are plenty of chapte ...more

“Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
