Reddit reviews The Camera Assistant's Manual

I haven't really needed to read any of these recently, so there might be better ones out now, but here are some ideas:

Cinematography: Theory and Practice: https://www.amazon.com/Cinematography-Theory-Practice-Cinematographers-Directors/dp/0240812093

ASC Manual: https://store.ascmag.com/product-p/10110.htm (this is more of a reference but I think you can learn a lot if you comb through it with your unlimited time :) )

Motion Picture and Video Lighting: https://store.ascmag.com/product-p/10110.htm

The Camera Assistant's Manual: https://www.amazon.com/Camera-Assistants-Manual-David-Elkins/dp/0240810570/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1522612793&sr=8-3&keywords=the+camera+assistant%27s+manual&dpID=51o7uMqwzZL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch
(the stuff in here is important to know when working your way up, but also how to conduct your self on set and the tools of the trade for professionals)

and really anything on Focal Press is great, as far as I've seen. You might also read books about VFX producing (for background when working with FX) and perhaps books on color grading and storyboarding.

And if you are interested in writing, Stephen King's On Writing is great.
