Thanks for mentioning Francine Prose’s book, Joyce. It has a place of honour on my bookshelves. It’s an excellent guide to close reading. Did you know I wrote about her book in May 2009? Here’s a link to my review: http://bit.ly/TRK4d1

Thank you. On the fifth point, reading mindfully, I frequently recommend Francine Prose’s book Reading Like a Writer. She talks about “close reading,” and in my opinion anyone who wants to be a writer would do well to master the art of close reading.
