The act of frustration is an essential part of the creative process.
This is the line that sold me on this book. If there is anything I know for sure from my decade of working with writers: it is this.
Also I had a hard time deciding what to choose for June. I know I promised fiction…but I could not help but choose a nonfiction book about creativity instead.
This book, Imagine: How Creativity Works by Johah Lehrer has captured my imagination. And I think that’s what the books in this book club ought to do — capture our imagination. And summer is a great time to read a book that can transport us.
Each book needs to carry enough promise that it will sway all of the members of the group. I feel confident this book will.
I will probably listen to this book rather than read it, but if anyone has a good reason why I should read it instead of listening to it, please let me know.
In the meantime, I will keep looking for fiction for next time.
Please suggest more in the Facebook group on the list…because there are still a couple memoirs calling my name.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to reading Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer. I hope you will join me!
