I stumbled upon this article advocating certain books for writers to read:-

I do think it’s important for writers to read, but I’ve never been sure about books which coach writing.

These are the books the author advocates:-

Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King
Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury
On Writing by Stephen King
Write. Publish. Repeat. by Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant
Indie Writer Survival Guide by Susan Kaye Quinn
Story Genius by Lisa Cron
Steering the Craft by Ursula K. LeGuin
The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogler
The Creative Tarot by Jessica Crispin
Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon

They all sound useful resources for writers. I OWN Stephen Kings book On Writing, but I never got around to reading it. Maybe I should!
