10. I second the King book
I loved it. A majority of the book deals with King himself, his personal struggles and some of his experiences as an early writer. Somewhat less of the book actually deals with writing but I still found it extremely valuable and entertaining to read. Some of the purely technical stuff has stuck forever in my head ("The road to hell is paved with adverbs"). While the less technical, more creative-centered sections were described so attractively that it made you want to take a two week vacation and try some of it out yourself.

I recently ordered three of the NY Times books on Amazon but I haven't had a chance to read them yet. Dialog is my own great weakness.
