So, as a kind of teaser, here is the stack:
- Teaching Community by bell hooks (purchased in Louisville at the CCCConvention last weekend)
- Push by Sapphire (which I loved)
- Trailer Girl by Therese Svoboda (the title novella of which is utterly stunning, though the stories that follow are less even)
- A Coffin for Dimitrios by Eric Ambler (a great classic thriller)
- Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott (which is really weird and disappointing)
- A Guide to College Writing Assessment (O’Neill et al., another CCCC purchase, but one I’m unlikely to blog about here)
- Some small press catalogs
- And my comments on a couple dozen essays nominated for the upcoming edition of the Norton Reader.
Maybe some of these will get a post of their own one day. But for now, I’m going back to the stacks—the Woolf stacks, that is. Time’s a-wasting.

bird by bird is disappointing? Oh. I've had that on my list for years, and have been saving it for a special treat. I have a friend who swears by it...
Every writer I know swears by that Lamott book. I've not read it though; I think I have grown out of reading writing books. Or grown out of writing...
However, Push or rather the film based on it, Precious is one of those stories that you want to throw at people during a disappointing election campaign...read this, this is what it's really like!
nice writings. thankyou
