The Sense of Style
The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century
Steven Pinker
Steven Pinker's The Sense of Style tackles the age-old questions of why so much writing is bad, if texting and social media are corrupting the English language, and whether good writing still matters. Pinker applies insights from the sciences of language and mind to teach readers how to craft clear, coherent, and stylish prose. With examples of great and gruesome writing, Pinker shows us how mastering the art of writing can be both pleasurable and intellectually stimulating.

There are many excellent books and guides on writing but my favorite is The Sense of Style
The best thing about it is that the author takes his own advice, and it's a pleasure to read. – источник
