The cheap-o Moleskine knockoffs work great since the paper is usually rougher and I write with cheap shitty biros.

i think OP is asking what style guide we use, not what kind of paper you buy.

chicago style or off yourself immediately

I got a Leuchtturm 1917, but I realized that it's too nice to creatively fuck around with. Get something that looks like shit and costs a dollar. You won't be afraid to sully something pretty that way.

but in the event he is asking about actual books, just get some cheap spiral bound college ruled thing with paper that feels nice to a cheap bic pen. no indie qts like the one in the pic, but i hope you're not writing for them anyway

Strunk and White, all others are extraneous.
