It seems like everyone who has ever put words on paper has read this book, so I feel a little late to the game. Ultimately, I'm so glad I read this. Packed with writing advice couched in personal stories, it was never pedantic, and I breezed through it quickly.

Anne Lamott doesn't take the practice of writing too seriously, understanding it as a kind of insane pursuit, and yet she is sensitive enough that you understand that she knows how important it is to writers. I'm going to read this again.
