- **Event Description**: BIRD BY BIRD: SOME INSTRUCTIONS ON WRITING AND LIFE
 by Anne Lamott

May 1994 | Writing Process | Composition | 258 pages

For 25 years, more than a million readers have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father – also a writer – in the iconic passage that gives the book its title:

“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was 10 years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.”

An essential volume for generations of writers young and old, “Bird by Bird” is a modern classic that will continue to spark creative minds for years to come.

---------------------
FORMAT:  Each person gives a SHORT overview of what they thought of the book - like, didn't like, etc. 

Then discussion leader guides through more specific questions or topics.  [You can often find specific book club questions online. There are also "generic" book club questions available.  But the more you customize, the better the discussion. ] 

We do our best to give everyone an equal chance to share their thoughts about the book.

Occasionally and depending on attendees' schedules and preferences, we sometimes go to Mike's Restaurant just down the road which does not take credit cards, or to another restaurant.
--------------------
