1. Daily Rituals - How Artists Work by Mason Currey

DAILY RITUALS

Brilliantly compiled and edited, and filled with detail and stories, Daily Rituals is an irresistible, addictive and magically inspiring book! It gathers the routines of 161 assorted creative geniuses into a lean, engaging volume. Its entries humanize legends such as Hemingway and Picasso, and explain the working lives of less popular modern geniuses, like painter Gerhard Richter and choreographer Twyla Tharp.

The book is very clear about one thing: There's no such thing as the way to create good work, but all greats have their way. Get the book and get reading, because some of those ways are spectacularly weird.
