I have long wanted to read The Elements of Style. Maybe it is somewhat perverse that someone should want to read a book on style and grammar for fun, but there you go.
Yes, it's a classic, you've all heard of it - and now I know why. It's direct, it's clear, it's informative, and it's fun. Really. I had no idea this sort of book could be so enjoyable.
More importantly, though, it makes me a more confident reader and writer. I confirmed several of the "rules" I thought I knew but wasn't sure of, realised where I was wrong, and learned new concepts. I plan to revisit this little book often and would recommend it to everyone.
