For me, 'Writing Fiction' by Janet Burroway is one of the best. It goes in - depth on the elements of fiction like point of view, dialogue, and description. 'Zen in the Art of Writing' by Ray Bradbury is also great. Bradbury's thoughts on creativity and the love of writing are inspiring. And 'Make a Scene' by Jordan Rosenfeld is good for learning how to write effective scenes in your novel.
Definitely 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's a hilarious and imaginative take on the universe, full of strange aliens and absurd situations. 'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson is also a must - read. It combines cyberpunk elements with a complex plot set in a near - future world. Also, 'Starship Troopers' by Robert A. Heinlein, which has interesting ideas about military service in a space - faring future.
Personally, I think hardcover blank books are great. They are more durable and can withstand being carried around. The pages should be thick enough so that your pen doesn't bleed through.
Beginning writers might find 'On Writing' by Stephen King useful. King shares his own experiences and writing tips in a very engaging way. 'Plot & Structure' by James Scott Bell is also a great resource. It helps new writers understand how to create a solid plot and structure for their stories. 'Writing Tools' by Roy Peter Clark offers practical tips and techniques for those just starting out in writing fiction.
Sure. 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' is a great one. It tells a story across millennia, dealing with post - apocalyptic themes and the role of knowledge. Then there's 'The War of the Worlds' by H.G. Wells, which was revolutionary in its time, depicting an alien invasion in a very vivid way.

In 'Trust' by Hernan Diaz, the writing style is quite distinct. It's told through multiple narratives that seem to be related but also keep you guessing. The language is sophisticated and it weaves a complex web of a story about wealth, power, and truth.
Some of the best story books in 2017 include 'The Power' by Naomi Alderman. It's a thought - provoking story that explores gender dynamics in a unique way.
