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

Hero with 1000 faces

8 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?
