It Chooses You
A book review from one of my favorite readers:*
Hello fellow Miranda July lover/person I've never met,
I just read her book It Chooses You, a book she wrote about finishing the script for The Future. It was incredibly sad, inspiring, and comforting. I highly recommend it.
I found it to be a great meditation on process and discipline and distraction and muse-chasing.
I bought it at Skylight at 2pm and just finished it now. And I went to the spa and the grocery store with my husband somewhere in the middle, so it's not much of a commitment.
Also, I cried.
*Who am I kidding? You are all my favorite readers.
