I have been reading Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott sort of on and off. More off lately. But Friday night I saw her and Elizabeth Gilbert speaking together at UCLA and was so inspired and excited by the evening that I immediately picked it up again and am almost done. I'm going to recommend it to a few people.
Anne Lamott is brutally honest and mostly about herself and her life and how human she is. This is such a great lesson and reminder to me about being honest about how human I am and most importantly, to laugh at myself. I know that laughing at myself is something I'm not great at and I'm working on it. I'm inspired to work on it in my writing and blogging.
I look forward to reading Plan B when I'm done with Traveling Mercies and then to re read Bird by Bird. I'm also curious about Operating Instructions, but that will come later.
