Are you a fan of Palahniuk? I have that book on my wishlist, and have been looking for another of his books to read. Plus, I never thought to use a reference book—especially one on writing—to pull me from my slump. That might be one of my birthday gifts this year…🤔 Thank you for the suggestion!
Big fan of his work! Been reading his stuff since high school. I think I own just about all his books. Have a few hard covers I lost due to moving I need to replace though. Lullaby is still an all time favorite!
Glad I could help! I have read a handful of books on writing. Most were the kind of books you read before bed to go to sleep and I didn't feel like I learned much. Chuck's book is fun to read and packed full of writing gems. Hope it helps you too!
I started with Lullaby about eight years ago. I got a signed copy from a local secondhand store. I have twelve of his books, with one of them being “Consider This,” which I will start today per your recommendation. Three of his books in my collection are signed—Lullaby, Diary, and The Invention of Sound.
Glad to meet a fellow fan of his work!
