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?
There is a lot I should probably read one day but didn’t feel like it yet:
S. King’s stuff (haven’t read anything by him yet), Wheel of Time, Brandon’s Stormlight Archive, some of the Paolini’s newer books (after Inheritance cycle), more of Laundry Files by Stross, more of Pratchett’s Disc World (so much more I haven’t read yet).
Though presently, something by Asimov might be my next pick
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!
I know I should, I’ve gotten a couple of chapters in, but I just started the First Law trilogy and it’s so good. Definitely after that though, definitely…
