 Writing to Learn, which is the second book by William Zinsser that I've read. The first is "On Writing Well" and I highly recommend it -- it's the type of book that you will wish you read sooner (if you're into writing (which as a FORUMS ARTIST, you surely are!)).



In Writing to Learn, Stephen Jay Gould gets cited a few times, and so I bought one of his books and it's really good so far:

 Reading The Collectors, the sequel to The Camel Club by David Baldacci

I just discovered this thriller author and I'm enjoying his stuff because he goes really into the weeds in terms of govt agency details and all that sort of thing that I am 100% clueless about.

As far as thrillers go, so far he's been good, but what really captivates me are all the details about high falutin life in Washington DC
