How to Read a Novelist: Conversations with Writers by John Freeman
3.0
There are real dangers to reading a book like this - the biggest being the length that your TBR can grow to. I have taken an oath to not make my TBR any longer than it is - so I have had to add a new exclusive shelf just for the books I want to read from this book - And NOOOOOO this is not cheating. I am sitting with bated breath waiting for the first of these to arrive but lets get back to this book.
I am not sure it gives me great tips on writing or literary style there are some interesting quotes from authors sprinkled throughout and some interesting facts about how they write but i suspect writing is much more diverse an occupation than be covered in a book like this. I enjoyed the potted biographies and one tip about re reading books has inspired me to think about giving books a second go.
