"Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear"
by Elizabeth Gilbert sounds like a good book to me!

Just added all these to my "To Read" list Jeffrey. I loved Lord of The Rings.

Had no idea Hemingway had a writing book. I'm glad to see 'On Writing' by King up there. The Elements of Style is a must-have, no-nonsense reference. I know book's like 'The Artist's Way' are hugely popular but I still don't get why, personally disliked it and found it too nonsensical years back.
Pat Conroy's A Lowcountry Heart is good on writing/the writer's life.
How could we miss adding Cindy Rogers' "Word Magic For Writers" to this list. As a writer AND editor she knows her stuff.
