Recommended Readings and Doings

Here is a list of all readings that I feel that all writers and authors should read and learn from. The links are to buy the books on Amazon or the websites that the articles are found on. (I am not paid to promote Amazon in any way, shape, or form. I just think Amazon to be an apt source of cheap books.) Newer additions to the lists will be added to the bottom.

Please enjoy!
