I actually just finished up a semester long project on Orwell. "Why I Write" came in pretty handy and gave all sorts of insight into his work.  :)

the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
William Goldman's two volumes of Adventures in the Screen Trade; the how-to-write bits are mostly focused on screenplays, but contain much excellent understanding of story.  (The books are at least as much memoir as manual, but most fun memoir.)
