We’ve all got one. That pile of books waiting to be read, some of them surely doomed to linger for years as other more enticing novels are selected instead. What’s in yours?

    Definitely read The Anatomy of Story if you’re a writer/interested in writing as a craft. It is by far the best guide on plot structure I have ever read and even though it focuses mainly on Hollywood plots it can be adapted to any story form. I use it as a starting point for everything I write, highly recommend it!
