So I finally got around to reading this and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't sure if a book based entirely on the correct use of punctuation could maintain my attention, but it really is a great read. Almost like the Fever Pitch of punctuation obsessives. It's given me a newfound desire to use the semicolon.

If you liked that book, you might also appreciate these:

I liked it. I keep it around as a referrence.

I've never read it, but my wife keeps telling me to read it. She really enjoyed it.

I really liked it too. I'm always catching shit for my use of the Oxford comma (also known as the serial comma), so it was nice to have some validation.

I have that laying around...i think I shall give it a chance

I started it.

I got bored after a chapter or so, and I normally like making fun of bad punctuation. Maybe I read too much at a time.

I'd like to read it as well.

Another good book, especially for reference purposes, is "Woe is I"

It's kinda downhill after the commas and apostrophes.

I loved it...but I'm a geek. And I have such traumatic issue with serial commas...

This one is really good too:



As unserious as it sounds, it truly is a book about how to swear in a grammatically correct way.
