Planned on picking up some books on journalism and I am looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

The two books that have helped me most in my growth as a writer.

 

Thanks, guys. I'll have to check all these out.

 

This book almost scared me out of pursuing the field, but in the end, drove me to continue. This was a required reading in college.
