What makes a good book better?
What is it that makes the really good books stand out? I think a good book needs to be messy, chaotic, partly thought, partly planned, and one or two really good chapters (or really fine sentences) are better than a dozen workmanlike ones. This is a like asking, Is it inspiration, or is it craftsmanship? Unfortunately, I think I tend to be more a craftsman than inspired. What is is that stands out for you in a book?
