Poetics by Aristotle
4.0

Aristotle, over 2000 years ago, was able to deliver to his disciples an in-depth analysis of the elements and components of poetry. Though this doesn't sound very interesting itself, I finished this text before I even realized it. There's an insane of useful information regarding how to write a story and the solutions to some common problems novice writers have. This text gives exclusive knowledge as to why stories --poetry for Aristotle's time-- intrigue us, and why we love them. Essential read for those who are showing an interest in philosophy and literary criticism. If you want to write a novel or story or whatnot, read this book, it'll save you rom a lifetime of mistakes.
