Greetings,
Can any one of you learned folks recommend ONE book that will help me become a good writer--or at least improve my english/writing skills.
What I intend to do is to read one page per day and analyse/dissect them. What I'm most interested in is what makes 'good' grammer and structure. Use of vocabulary is a bonus.
I come from an arts background so visual descriptions are important to me.
At the moment I only have one book in mind--'The Great Gatsby' by fitzgerald. That was the last novel I read back in highschool. In fact I hate reading fiction(but like writing fiction--is that weird?). If you can recommend a book with low dialogue to narrative ratio that would be a bonus.
thanks!
