There is tons of fascinating things on storytelling. One page i like to browse is tvtropes. It's collecting aspects of stories and categorizes them. For example unobtanium: ""Unobtainium is engineering jargon for, "a material that would be perfect for our purposes, if we could get it, which we can't." ""

Or the story types, where there are 3, 6, 7, 36 depending on how you categorize them. Reading about them and seeing how they are used in all our Media is fascinating.
