As I don't recall picking this book up I suspect that the book was accidently left behind in my car.

Journal Entry 4 by futurecat from Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand on Sunday, November 16, 2008
This happens every time I give another bookcrosser a book I haven't read first. They make it sound so interesting I have to get it back so I can read it. I left this book in lytteltonwitch's car, and when she found it I said she might as well keep it, because I hadn't planned on reading it. A few weeks later she brought it back to a meetup, and said it had been really good, so, yes, you guessed it, it came back home with me.

And it was interesting, too (or, at least, the first two thirds of it were - the last few chapters got a bit boring). Basically just advice for writers, but interspersed with amusing anecdotes from the author's life as a writer and a teacher of writers. It almost inspired me to dust off that old idea for a novel I once had (but only almost - I quickly remembered why it was I hadn't followed through with the idea in the first place: there's no way I'd ever stick at a writing project long enough to turn anything into a novel, and the idea wasn't all that great anyway).
