What you should read next
At some point I intend to share the list of all the books I've read recently, but not now. No, now is the time when I tell you to buy a book and read it. Why? Because the author is my former writing instructor, Ellen Litman, and she knows a thing or twenty about solid prose. So go to your nearest independent bookstore and buy The Last Chicken in America. It's getting great reviews and was picked as an "indie darling" by Publisher's Weekly. You hear that? Darling! Now go get your copy before your bookstore sells out.
