I find his fiction enjoyable; it reads easily and his sense of humor is similar to my own. (It is possible to overdose on his style, as I did on Vonnegut after a few volumes.)
"Single greatest book on writing of all time?" We'll part company here too. I read On Writing shortly after it came out, and was entertained through the front half, but can't for the life of me remember a shred of advice from it. I do recall the striking discontinuity in the last part, where he writes about the auto accident that nearly killed him. The writing was obviously different from that in the front of the book, and I felt the topic was out of place, and even self-indulgent. But he gets a bye, 'cause he's Stephen King.
