On Writing, by Stephen King.
Simply the best book about writing ever written. It's partly autobiographical, specfically about King's life as a writer, and partly a "how to" book for aspiring writers.
Here's the gist of the how to part.
Want to be a writer ? You have to do two things. Read a lot, and write a lot. That's it, that's the secret.
I've read that book 4 or 5 times, and listened to the audio version a dozen or more times. The audio version is best because it's read by King himself, and I think it's his best reading ever. It's inspiring for anyone who wants to write, but I even find it inspiring as a photographer.
