Funny. I was at our local espresso place yesterday having lunch and my
copy was on the table. The owner was wandering around, spied the book,
and asked, "How many times have you read this, now?" I thought it was
pretty funny that he automatically assumed I was rereading it. He said
he hadn't read it for about twenty years and that it might be time to
reread. He also recommended a book by Buckminster Fuller, called
Critical Path, which he said he has read several times. I haven't
checked that out yet.
Anyway, for those who don't know ZMM, yesterday I read the part about
how Phaedrus experimented in his university writing class by giving no
grades until the end of the semester, how students reacted to that, and
his assertion that we, including students, already know what quality is
even if we can't define it, and that the writing process itself is more
important than knowing the rules about writing. And how this is all
wrapped up together.
Sound familiar?

You addicted me to that book!!!!
I would say it is much about life!
