You don’t have to look far to find a list of thebest books a writer should read. A benefit for new writers, no doubt.
Unfortunately, those of us who have been around for a number of years often own every book that tends to make these lists.
Not only do we own them, we’ve absorbed them into our bloodstream.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the list changed from year to year.
But it doesn’t.
So while the usual best-books-writers-should-read lists are fine for the greenhorns in the field . . . what about the rest of us?
What about those who want to go from undergraduate to graduate work? Who want to inject a tangible and seductive element in their writing that growls “You better take notice of me”?
