Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Elements of Style

During my travels, I happened upon an illustrated edition of William Strunk and E.B. White's Elements of Style, a book I've felt I should have read for a while now, and between my sense of duty and the handsome illustrations by Maira Kalman, I felt I simply couldn't resist purchasing this book.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was an easy and pleasant read--I tend to forget how much I enjoy reading about grammar!  While I don't agree with all of the rules and suggestions laid out here, on the whole I consider this to be a very useful, handy little book for anyone wishing to write in good English.
