To Be A Better Writer...
... you should read excellent writing. Or, so I'm told.
So, if you could reccomend 5 books that showcase exceptional writing, plot development, characterization, etc., what would they be? I'm already picking out something by Hemingway, and going to re-read some of the Dickens that I read oh, so long ago. But, I'm looking for some direction in my search.
Already picked up Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand; interesting story, mediocre writing. Having John Galt blather on for fifty pages on Objectivisim was mind-numbing, particularly after he started repeating himself.
Thanks for your suggestions.
