A book I won't read

Taking the review at its word, the recently buzzed book on subbing sounds pretty skippable. I guess it got published mostly because the author has a lot of other books published already. Perhaps some of them even get read by people other than the reviewer conscientiously doing her article.

The idea of subbing as a day job to allow one to write, though, has to be one lots of people have had before. It could be the next best thing after barista or server. This other review suggests one can even become quite successful at it; the author has written for some of the major publications out there.

Reading, writing--it all remains a bit of a mystery, but somehow we're muddling along. I wonder how many subs write about it like this, and no one's the wiser.
