In addition to her father’s revealing memoir, Bryce Dallas Howard’s love for nonfiction extends to “Just Kids” by Patti Smith. The 2010 publication belongs on our\u00a0list of well-written celebrity memoirs,\u00a0with the title spotlighting the legendary artist’s life in New York City in the ’60s and ’70s and her complex relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. “I was completely swept away by this book,” Howard told Bustle, drawing comparisons to her years at NYU, where she met her husband. “There’s no hubris. There’s no envy. There’s no pretense. It’s just very genuine, and it makes the storytelling incredibly vivid.” Another standout artistic portrait comes from “Hilma af Klint,”\u00a0a biography about the titular Swedish painter written by Julia Voss. “I learned so much about [af Klint] from reading this: she was very spiritual, and belonged to a like-minded community of women called The Five,” she told the Financial Times in 2024.<\/p>\n

Many of Howard’s other nonfiction faves relate to her own creative work, with the actor recommending “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert and “Everything is Figureoutable” by Marie Forleo as standout reads. Each had a unique impact on the star’s approach to work and goals, with Gilbert encouraging her to embrace embarrassment while Forleo influenced her to put her intentions to pen and paper. Overall, if you’re looking for your next read, Howard has a variety of recommendations to add to your TBR.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
