Patrick King has published a lot of short, accessible books that are available on Kindle. They might seem a bit lightweight but they’re generally well-written and I’ve taken quite a bit from the books I’ve written.
(One tip that has stayed with me: avoid asking people what their “favorite” book/band/movie/whatever is… instead, ask them about a good book/band/movie/whatever they’ve read/listened to/watched/whatever recently, or a favorite—it gives people more wiggle room and doesn’t push them to make a definitive statement. Little things like this are valuable to know.)
