I LOVE to read, and by writing about what I read, I hope to share some of my passion and inspire people to read books they might not otherwise consider. Or to pick up any book and read because it's fun and because reading makes the world a better place.

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.
