One of the things I managed to achieve in my abscence is I managed to read and finish Story by Robert McKee, some of it needing alcohol but I got there.
I noticed a lot of people have fallen by the wayside trying to read it (and I can see why), but I just fell the need to proclain I managed it.
Now for the Writers Journey *GULP*
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww.
*does tumultuous clapping*

Well done mate. I've read the Writer's Journey and it's a piece of piss in comparison.
What the hell is Story? Is it a very long book?
Here's my tip for a very funny book:
Augustus Carp Esq
Search it out and read it. It's one of the funniest things ever.

Ben, you numbskull.
Did you see Adaptation? The angry teacher who berates Nicolas Cage at the writer's seminar? The one played by Brian Cox? That's McKee.
If you've any interest in writing you need to have failed to finish that book!
Seefacts told me that you don't need to read any books on writing, so I obey that.

Stick with me son, you'll do just fine.
But stick with Bussell as well, because he's seems to know what he's on about.
I only hope we don't head in different directions or else Ben will be rent asunder. Asunder, I tell thee!
