Reading Like a Writer isn't a specific to LSAT book, and it has a more literary bent, but it's very well-written and interesting and uses examples from tons of real and famous books. I'd say it's very helpful for RC, in that it teaches the skills of breaking apart sentences and passages, analyzing for tone, examining the meaning or usage of a specific word in the passage's context, etc---all helpful RC tools.

Oh, interesting suggestion. I just checked it out on google books. The first chapter almost dissuaded me from the value of it, but the second chapter starts to provide tangible value, in particular by pointing out examples of key words and phrases about the tone and intentions of the writer. This is super helpful for people who have trouble intuitively reading passages with a critical mind. Thanks for sharing!
