Anne Lamott is just totally beyond these guys. They don't have a clue. She is STEALING the show and I love it.

I loved reading Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott for a memoir class I took at NJCU with Dr. Edvige Giunta!

[@kaelynchapman4060]

Such a beautiful conversation. Brilliantly conveyed the process of writing, paying attention and telling the story of life!

Anne is awesome!

[@anthony_barba]

No shit! Donny Miller and Anne on the same stage. Love both those Americans.

[@howardkoor2796]

Sensational

[@annetcell-ly4571]

She always sounds so sad. Her past life (last century) really weighs heavily on her. We all have our struggles and continue to struggle. She makes some very good, clever and true points - but the droning drags me down because it obscures the energy behind it. Thumbs up to the droll.

[@JerrySmith-ih9rd]

I totally agree. She drones on & on about her mistakes and weaknesses to the point of whining. At the same time, (and this is where she shines), she is good and very funny at celebrating the loves of her heart. I can read one of her books every other year. A great wordsmith and very much worth a read. Just my opinion.

[@aperson2730]

Such a gentle soul :-)

@@acajudi100 holy fuck you actually think you have the right/priviledge to correct people word/spelling choices (whinging/whining as well) in the context of a writer who is urging avoiding negative self talk and self criticism? Hilarious

[@thegratefulbrad3072]

All I can say is that she cheats at tennis! Your toe was on the line! I want a rematch! Foul! Venus and Serena Williams she ain't! Harumph!

[@Dana9437]

I found Anne totally self absorbed...I'm very disappointed. I was expecting inspiration. I just started "Bird by Bird" and will try to give it a chance but I've heard writers say that Stephen King's "On Writing" is much more worthwhile

[@AlisonWonderland999]

I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as you! Just about to start reading it. Hadn't expected her to be a Church nut. Just finished reading the book and it's utterly brilliant, wise and funny. Love her now! 😁

[@donnaerno3007]

Many people become "Church nuts," to find meaning in their miserable lives. It's better than anti-depressants because it points you towards God, your reason for being on Earth, and where you're going after this life. I think she deserves to be self-absorbed. We don't know what everyone has gone through in their lives and most of us are the "walking wounded."
