Books Every Author Should Read - Page 2

Reading on a daily basis allows writers to learn new styles, words and find inspiration from some of the greatest writers of all time. If you aren't finding time on a daily basis to read even a few pages, your writing will almost certainly suffer.
Now there are a lot of books for you to choose from, many of which will help you become a better writer, but there are a select few that truly stand out. These are the books every author should read sometime in their life.
