alanajoliI swear someone (I'm pretty sure it was Shawn Merwin) posted something in my comments in the not too distant past recommending a couple of titles on the art of writing. It's become relevant to a project I'm working on now at the library, and I can't find it. Alas!
So, here's where you all come in: are there books on writing that you've found particularly useful? This could be for nonfiction, fiction, poetry, screenwriting, comics you name it. I just want to make sure the titles I'm recommending are quality! I've already pulled the wonderful list from Wizards of the Coast, but would love further suggestions.
Thanks!

Ok, so the last one is not about writing, but I think every writer should read it. It has interesting bits of trivia, history and psychology that are all useful when craft characters with personality and style.
