He's looking for books dumbshit, of course it is.
And yeah op, there are. But really, nearly every book you encounter should improve the three skills you mention. Importantly, it's more about how you read a book. Are you actually paying attention? Are you actively listening and considering what you're reading as you're reading it? Are you looking at where what youre reading fits into your understanding of things? Can you stay focused for long periods of time? When you lose focus, can you force yourself to regain focus?
In my ten years experience of reading, long periods of active reading and listening will sharpen all areas of your attention. Once your ability to pay attention has increased, your ability to do stuff with what you are paying attention to will increase as well. This is only my experience, but I can tell you that after three consecutive months of attentively reading somewhat difficult for four hours a day, my mind is attentive, fast, and difficult to tire.
You mean inductive reasoning?

I believe both would be applicable.
Yes there are; they are called "mathematics" books.
That skill comes with reading enough books.
Not every story is 100% original. There are common tropes, archetypes, symbols and the use of the monomyth is essentially universal.
