Zen in the Art of Writing Book Reviews

As I mentioned the other day, during jury duty I finished reading Ray Bradbury's Zen in the Art of Writing, a slim tome exploring the creative process. After deep contemplation I have written a review over at Amazon.

Why you should read my review of Zen in the Art of Writing: Back at university I wrote an essay on Milton's Paradise Lost, wherein I noted that in deceiving Eve "Satan was more interested in an argument that sounded good than in a good, sound argument." I do a Charlie Tuna kind of thing in this review, too.
