I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive
I enjoy reading books on the craft of writing. This one is basic, and directed at nonfiction, meaning more craft than inspiration, more clarity than creativity. Although I doubt it'll influence my own fiction, I suspect I'll read journalists' stories with a different appreciation and eye for structure. So, well done, 3.5 rating, but no socks were blown off in the revelation of craft secrets.
