Writing to Learn: How to Write - and Think - Clearly About Any Subject at All by William Zinsser

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

The book should be called "A biography about me and everyone I ever met". While Zinsser mentions several times in the 20% that writing is important, he never talks about writing; about the thought process, the planning, the writing itself, the editing etc. 

Instead, he rambles about his life and gives an awfully detailed description of everyone and everything. Not to mention that he really is not a great writer. I mean, look at this quote: 

I asked Thomas Gover how to get to Gustavus Adolphus. He said that if I flew to Minneapolis he would meet me at the airport. I said I’d see him there.
