about lamott

I thought these sounded like good book-cover quotes, and it just so happens that I believe them:

"Anne Lamott is one of the few people – perhaps the only person – who makes me think of things to write while I’m reading her. Reading Lamott is a highly productive exercise." -me

"Lamott gives a lot of skill, a lot of truth, and in the end, a little hope. I think I’d be content with a little less skill, if I could only offer more hope – lots of hope – scads and scads of hope." -me

(Okay, maybe the second is more a critique than book-cover praise. But it's still quite quotey.)
