Anne Lamont - Bird By Bird B+
Perhaps my favorite thing about Bird by Bird is Lamott's honesty about writing and the writing life. Especially since it's easy to romanticize being a writer when the reality is a constant struggle to put the right words on paper.
This book was first recommended to me by Dan Elish, the author of one of my favorite novels, Nine Wives. Since then it has been recommended time and time again with good reason. I think this book separates the pretenders from the contenders in the writing process. It reveals the true satisfaction and artistic nature of writing whether you're published or not.
