I enjoyed On Writing. It's the book authors tell you to read.

Editors tell you to read Stein on Writing. My editor told me to read John Gardner's "On Writers and Writing".

Stephen King's book will teach you how to make writing fun. Stein's book will teach you how to make writing a successful pursuit. Gardner's book will teach you why both matter. Of the three, I read King twice, Gardner once and Stein three times.
