Invisible: Essays and Poems About Representation in Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited by Jim C. Hines and Mary Ann Mohanraj - Anything that helps me to understand other people's perspectives and the struggles they go through is good, & this book did exactly that. Many identities and issues I hadn't properly thought about are covered in here. Read if you want to write more representative fiction, or simply increase your understanding of other people's lives.
