A great book for nerds
Okay, it may not sound like an exciting topic, but I bought a really cool book - If You Catch An Adjective, Kill It - by Ben Yagoda. Believe it or not, it's a truly entertaining treatment of the parts of speech; the chapter on articles (a, an, the) is really fun. Understand, of course, that I believe that everyone in the English-speaking world should read Strunk and White's Elements of Style; perhaps I believe that if enough people read this book, the language will be saved.
Anyway, go to the library and get Yagoda's book if you can.
