Colleges and universities are fine, but there's always more to learn about a topic after you get your degree. Whether you're an author or an aspiring author, you can improve your skills by studying books on craft and lifestyle far better than you could by just taking a couple semesters of creative writing at your local community college.
The Writer's Bookshelf: Recommended References and Writing Resources is a series devoted to those books on the writing craft and writing life that I (a writer) have learned from and would recommend to anyone who's looking to tell a great story. These books continue to live on my bookshelf as they have been valuable to me as a resource.
