In the eighteen months since I started writing my memoir, I vowed to read other writers works along the way—for inspiration, to support, and for entertainment. I’ve read at a pace of one book every two months, and this doesn’t include the five or so children’s books I’ve had to read as an audiobook actor. As a whole, I thoroughly enjoyed these books more than I’ve enjoyed television and if you’re not a reader, get yourself a copy of the audiobook. These are books that have influenced my own writing and that bulbous, throbbing creative part of my brain and my recent life. I hope you enjoy at least one of them:
- Dry a memoir by Augusten Burroughs
- Midnight’s Children a novel by Salman Rushdie
- Angela’s Ashes a memoir by Frank McCourt
- Bossypants a memoir by Tina Fey
- My Folks Don’t Want Me to Talk About Slavery a collection of autobiographies by Belinda Hurmence
- The Alchemist a novel by Paulo Coelho
- The Pilgrimage a novel by Paulo Coelho
- APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur prescriptive non-fiction by Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch
- The Suicide Index an autobiography by Joan Wickersham
- The Tipping Point prescriptive non-fiction by Malcolm Gladwell
- Rapturous a novel by Brent Buell
