The source of bad writing: curse of knowledge

A while back, a mentor of mine gently suggested i get a copy of "the elements of style" after reading a one of my poorly written tech docs explaining some code i had written. i got one, read a few pages, and then started using it as a coaster.

thing is, its a constant reminder and seems to have helped me more than any other book i haven't read. im still not a very good writer ...but better :)

going a little deeper into philosophy, the book "On Bullshit" should be another coaster on ones desk.
