The best way to learn about writing is to:
1. Read a copy of On Writing by Stephen King
2. Write a lot
3. No, more than that
And always get feedback from your target audience. Publish, share, see what happens, adapt.

Still a good book overall though, don't get my wrong.
I've found reading lots, especially from revered authors from all nationalities, Steinbeck and Doestovsky I hold in great esteem, has had a great impact on my writing style.
I suppose we all try to emulate those we hold in esteem, and I think reading a lot from authors we like, can have a great influence in our ability to convey meaning through words.
