91. A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf. I am developing an enormous crush on Woolf. This book, like Three Guineas, is a polemic; it's known as a feminist piece, and it is, but I think any writer will find useful thoughts here. From a certain perspective this is a bit depressing--women's writing is still undervalued, and the economic obstacles to learning and creating are not that much changed from Woolf's day--but it's also deeply inspiring, funny, humanistic, not to mention wickedly intelligent.
