Food for thought

(4,5 Sterne)

These lectures by both authors are intriguing and the recording is pretty good. The speaker is quite harsh on her s's and this can make it a little difficult to find the correct listening volume at times, but all in all fairly good.

A little gem

(5 Sterne)

If you enjoy the classics, why not explore some thoughts on writing from the pros? As always, Julie does a lovely job !

Very informative
