Title: The Best Book on Writing
Review: I have read at least a dozen books on writing, and Stein on Writing stands out as easily the best of the bunch. It's not like any of the other books were bad--some in fact were very good--it's just that Stein's book is on its own level as a guide to the art of professional writing. Teeming with helpful tips, craft techniques, and pertinent examples, this classic text is 300 pages of non-stop, filler-free insights, solutions, and general information.I have to laugh at the idiots who dismiss Stein because of his "know-it-all arrogance." As the spiritual master Adi Da pithily put it, "Humility is a small penis." What matters to me is the knowledge a teacher can provide, not his ability to mask his ego. And speaking of ego, the second-best books on writing I've encountered are Ayn Rand's The Art of Fiction and The Art of Nonfiction.
