Some great screenwriting books to read

Two books that I highly recommend are “Adventures in the Screen Trade” and “Which Lie Did I Tell? More Adventures in the Screen Trade”, both by William Goldman. The first is a little dated, but the advice, education and entertainment value alone make these books well worth a read.

It’s fascinating to see how a successful screenwriter approaches projects, how he deals with writing blocks and insecurities, and know that he has had his fair share of failures and disappointments.
