Larceny of Letters: Breaking in as a Writer -- Would-be writers would be well advised to assimilate the entirety of this weighty work before trading in your Teamsters Card and selling the semi.  If you think driving a truck is loneliness personified, the author will depict an even more gruesome truth -- writing for a living is hell on the ass bone and death to all social instincts. Worse yet, after reading this stunning book on how to become a writer most tentative aspirants will discover how over-manned this profession has become since the advent of the personal computer and penny-a-copy Xerox machines and follow the author's advice and opt instead for a career in cemetery headstone sales.  Every word ever written about becoming a writer is shared in complete context offering the reader a one-stop overview of a subject more depressing than hives.

Looking for fun? This book is a lot of fun.  Especially if you read it.
