I am of the belief that it's just as helpful to hear how useless a writing tool can be as much as it is to hear how great it is. Bookslut Jessa Crispin has some thoughts on Francine Prose's Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them. What does she think of this book? "I made the mistake of taking only it on a train to the suburbs, and so I either had to continue reading it or stare out the window for an hour and a half." If you still can't tell, read her post on it here.
