For the writers out there: if you somehow made it through high school and college without a close brush with Aristotle’s Poetics, I highly recommend that you read it now.

It’s a fairly short read, entertaining in as much as philosophy can be entertaining, and it probably had a greater impact on Western literature and aesthetics than any other critical text or philosophical treatise ever written.
