Dust off a seat and discuss a good book here...you do read, right?

Hero with 1000 faces

10 years ago

So the book The Hero with 1000 Faces is often sited as the most referenced book in all of literature (book or movie). So I picked up a copy to see what it was about!

Turns out the book was written in the 40's and hasn't been updated since... so it can be a bit hard to swallow for your average (or for me: below-average) reader.

But... I found another great book that recaps the book with a more modern take and have been actually enjoying it: The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers.

Anyone else have any good reads that help to improve ones writing?
