Read a good book about your craft? Or just a good book in general? Share it here.
I am currently reading a great book by Trent Dalton, author of Boy Swallows Universe, which was adapted to a popular Netflix series.
Trent Dalton is a great Australian author and Gravity Let Me Go has already sold 2 million copies. Definitely worth a read.
any good book recommendations, anything even if it is a common read or something. Include short stories and poems if y'all want
I'm reading a pretty good book right now called The Man Who Saw Seconds. It is about a guy who can see 5 seconds into the future, and he uses his power to fight hundreds of cops at a time.
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

I'm listening to the audiobook of The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing anEpidemic of Mental Illness, by Jonathan Haidt, and it's one of those books that I want to tell everyone to read/listen to, especially if you have (or plan to have) children.
It's also a good pla...

Definitely one I will check out. Thanks, Debra!
Thanks for sharing.
Love Jonathan Haidt's work. Great recommendation!
Hey creative community, happy Tuesday!
As we look ahead to 2026, I’m curious...what books are you planning to read next year? I’m starting to plan my own reading list and would love some inspiration from fellow creatives.
Hey, Sydney S. Something tells me this will be a sequel to my existing series, which I'm currently working on—reading, rereading, revising, adding to, and adapting for TV. )
Unfortunately, I find it di...

I read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I mostly read it because I saw a used book for a dollar and was like "I've heard of this". It's kind of a dystopian sci fi but from a different angle. It's often contrasted with 1984 by Orwell. While Orwell's dystopia is one where oppression is sustained with...

Brave New World sounds interesting, Zackary Goncz! I just added it to my read list. Thanks for the book rec.
For those interested in enhancing their screenwriting skills and exploring the depths of the writing process in general, I recommend reading "Immediate Fiction: A Complete Writing Course" by Jerry Cleaver. I used to struggle with writing my screenplays, in fact, it was very painful, until I read thi...

Thank you, Nawaf Al Janahi . I will check it out.
For all of the poetry lovers:
Lock Her Up by Tina Parker. "It is an examination of the platitudes, misdiagnoses and treatments administered to women who needed succor not restraint, understanding not punishment; women who had been set aside by their families or bored husbands, were abused, widowed or Expand post
Fantastic book, everyone should read. Have you read it?
Hi, Heather Gill. I just looked up Unreasonable Hospitality. It sounds interesting. I added it to my read list. Thanks.
Excellent fast passed action novel that provides some unique historical insight within its fictional story. Sets up for a sequel. And this is already a spinoff from mini-series "Terminal List" and "Dark Wolf". Jack Carr is a great story teller and prolific author.
I am just after everyone's opinion.
I much prefer to watch a movie or series before reading the book. I find that a lot of the time I am let down by the viewing as I think they miss many parts (obviously as it has to be shortened).
I found reading the Game of Thrones series was much more exciting afte...

You're welcome, Mick Eggins. Thanks.
I usually do the opposite- but I've learned to parse the whole Book vs Movie/TV thing as I've gotten older. I think most of it stems from the fact that writing scripts, working in comics, and writing...

Cynna Ael great response! I love that point of view
An interesting topic because I have in fact been holding myself back from watching The Thursday Murder Club, until I have read the book by Richard Osman. This is probably because I want to really abso...

I'm on my 4th Joe Ambercrombie novel - Best Served Cold. Rebecca Ferguson was attached to the movie version of this book for quite some time (which is why I picture her as the lead character) but I believe that project is currently in development hell.
Ambercrombie does something really well in his n...
