Origins of the Specious: Myths and Misconceptions… por Patricia T. O'Conner

I felt like I was reading a monthly magazine column, i.e. the coherence wasn't as tight as maybe it could have been. On a chapter by chapter level, it was smooth and pleasant reading.

Woe Is I: The Grammarphobe's Guide to Better… por Patricia T. O'Conner

Good book on grammar etc. Took me forever to read even though it reads very easily. I just kept putting it off because of funner books to read. I recommend it.
