Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne TrussMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Can a book about grammar actually be fun and enjoyable? Well, yes, it can. Some good examples about grammar gone wrong, some history of the different punctuation marks, and some rules of when and where to put them. Language is constantly evolving, and there is no reason to stick with something just for the sake of it, but just as punctuation in music helps us find our rhythm as we play, there is something to be said for proper grammar and punctuation. It helps the flow of the text and conveys the intention of the author - without all the signs we'd be lost.
