Most of the non-fiction I’m reading is focused on fighter pilots for my next novella.
Also, they are just plane fun. (pun intended)
Fiction reading is lacking lately. I go through fits and starts when researching for a novel. Mostly I read non-fiction that is related to what I plan on writing. I also read books on writing craft.
All the time.
Non-Fiction:
Droidmaker: George Lucas and the Digital Revolution by Michael Rubin – Movie Tech Neepery.
Bogeys and Bandits by Robert Gandt – About a class of Navy fighter pilots.
Boyd The Fighter Pilot Who Changed The Art of War by Robert Coram – The fighter pilot.
Word Painting – The Fine Art of Writing Descriptively by Rebecca McClanahan – Due diligence for a writing weakness of mine.
Fiction:
Man From Earth (Screenplay) – Unique in that the whole drama is just dialog.
The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe (re-read) – Test Pilots!
