Sounds like a fantastic book. I hope the peanut butter sandwich girl got her friends and influence!
I'm not a writer... But enjoy learning how others sharpen the craft. I'll order a copy of this book, based on your review.
This is absolutely one of those books that benefit both writers and just regular folks alike. Many of the things Prof. Macrorie talks about in it revolve around sharpening one's sense of how to see and consider our world more clearly and without the obscuring veil of cliché.
@@Infinimata I'm replying here once again, but on a somewhat indirect point. One of the ideas I recently awoke to, is the idea of annotating the books I'm reading. (Not a new idea, just one I was unable to appreciate.) I've never wanted to write in books, thinking of them as a most precious object, not to be soiled by notes and highlighting. (Even doing it to textbooks bothered me.) But now, as my library has grown (and even Kindle books), I am long now able to buy and keep my books, rather then check them out from the library - I see no reason not to make what I love most speak back to me again and again, each time I pick it up. What does this text say to me past, present, and future? ...and how does my life journey change my perspective over time? What could it say to my sons, if they might someday choose to keep them after I have left this world? I'm looking for ideas on what I might personally find most worthy to annotate as I read - a system I can establish and evolve, to advance even more the harvast from each book I consume. Knowing the perspective of a writer, gives me some ideas of how to tap the mind of the author themselves, not just my own. >> I would like to give credit to another 'RUclipsr', who discovered you and shared a link to your channel, on their channel community section. www.youtube.com/@ToReadersItMayConcern/featured
@@michaelherman3655 I'm reluctant to mark up books I own, if only because I can always take notes sidecar in some other form (and print them out). For me, digital things are for annotation; physical things for cherishing. But if the annotations are part of the cherishing, that's absolutely valid.
