Going to WaR

~ sharon ~ Leave a comment

I haven’t read this book, How to Read Like a Writer, but I think I’d like to. I belong to a Writers as Readers book club, and we’ve been together for a few years now. We “WaRriors” have been muddling along, mostly on instinct. Each of us picks books to read based on the kinds of things we’re working on. We don’t all like every book, but I think we have managed to learn from each other’s choices. I’m predjudiced, but I think it’s the best book club I’ve ever belonged to.
