Shakespeare use of the arts of language and 60 ways to turn a phrase (book about figures of speech).

It feels a lot like learning the basics of music theory and now you're in the situation pop music is so poorly made and so bad, you can't stand it and have to look for clasical music and jazz for new tastes.

It feels a lot like new writers don't even know how to write.
