Bird by Bird


"Boys are like birds," say Amy Helmes and Meg Leder. Wonder which bird you're nesting with? Want to seek out your dream bird in his natural habitat? Get all the answers in their useful new book Boys of a Feather: A Field Guide to North American Males, available June 7th. Plus: Take the quiz to find out which species of featherhead you're attracted to. (Apparently I have a proclivity for the swan, which explains my longstanding crush on ballet dancer and noted narcissist Mikhail Baryshnikov.) Anyway, Amy and Meg have a wicked sense of humor and I guarantee that reading their book will be a hoot.

Bird by Bird -- best writing book I've ever read. That's all I'm sayin'.

Yes and there is a documentary about Bird by Bird author Annie Lamott called "Bird by Bird with Annie" that is supposed to be good, but I haven't seen it.
