My favorite book on writing: Writing Prose by Richard Lanham, who sprinkles his directives with humor. Sample chapter titles include Who’s Kicking Whom? (active versus passive voice) and How Long, O Lord? (condensing excessively long sentences). I read it in 1992 and have kept it on my bookshelf for 30 years!
