“The Hobbit” by J. R. R. Tolkien.
Unpopular opinion: The Hobbit is a better book than the entire trilogy. I’m planning on doing the maneuver where I read the book and then watch its corresponding movie (extended edition) for the entire LOTR series. 
“The Elements of Style” by William Strunk J.R and E.B White
When there’s serious proofreading to be done, you have to pull out the big guns. Turns out my love of the semicolon is legitimate. It’s been storming outside since last night; perfect weather to make a nest and edit my writing.
“Haikus; This Other World” by Richard Wright.
I love Haikus. Love to write them more than read them even. I get jacked up and even throw an extra line in there-5,7,5,9. But some haikus can defiantly be a bit dry or boring to read. This book was a last minute find and an on-the-whim purchase from an overflowing and wizardly bookshop. Turns out it’s brilliant so far; even made me laugh aloud. Written by an African American author who became obsessed with the poetic form of the Haiku before he died. He wrote 4,000 of them and this book features 817 of his favorites. This book was published posthumously.
