Parables on the Writers craft

Books on Writing:

1.      A Moveable Feast- By Ernest Hemingway (published after his death)

The book talks about his years in Paris as a young writer in Europe during the 1920s with his wife. "If the reader prefers," he wrote in a three-paragraph preface, "this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact."

2.      On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft - By Stephen King (published in 2000)

      This book is a memoir of the author's experiences as a writer. It is also a  fondly sardonic autobiography.

3.      The Elements of Style - By William Strunk Jr. & E B White (published in 1918)

This book is a prescriptive English writing style and basic grammar guide, comprising elementary rules of usage, principles of composition common mistakes, in brief a short version of the grammar book you learned in school, but more to the point as a writer.
