Recommended Books For Writers On Writing

There are billions* of lists on the web that list the books that every writer should read.
In an attempt to help me decide which books to buy, here is a pseudo-scientific method.
If a book appears on a list, it gets a point. If it accumulates three (roughly 10%) or more points, it gets on this list.
The book with the most points is the one I’ll buy.

If your favourite book doesn’t appear on this list, don’t blame me, blame the authors of the lists.

* I might have exaggerated.

“Christmas?  Is it really that time again?  I mean, really, where does the time go? It only seems like yesterday when we were complaining about the summer, or lack of it, and now, suddenly the clocks go back and it’s Christmas! Mind you it seems to start earlier every year.  I’m sure the advertising people think they’re being oh so clever with some of those adverts, trying to create some sort of cosy, warm, fuzzy feeling with their little vignettes of happy families.  Great.  Just not in October, thank you very much!  When all’s said and done they’re still just adverts, trying to make people part with their hard-earned money for some useless tat.
