My wife and I both read a great deal. Presently I'm reading The Glamour of Grammar by Roy Peter Clark (Little, Brown and Company, 2010) so that I can better understand the English language. It's a book I borrowed from the local public library and I get a kick out of diagramming sentences which is what every kid did in school prior to the dumbing down of the American student after 1970. I'm going nuts over "split infinitives" and "dangling participles" - the very things I was taught as a youngster by nuns and dedicated public school teachers more than half a century ago.

I turn the pages with an eager finger to learn more.

The wife downloads books via satellite and "clicks" to a page on her robot thing.

Nah, I have to have a newspaper or a book in my hands.

I'll be dead but I can see the day coming when Mom and Dad "click" a baby that has everything they want off the menu.

Makes a librarian very happy to read such posts I mean about the reading, because as far as grammar goes, I recieved the 70's education which emphasized creativity rather than really learning grammar and punctuation. I remember when I got to college I was completely mystified when the English professor starting doing some cryptic looking diagraming on the blackboard???? I was robbed.

If you're looking for anything after your current book you might like:

"Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" by Lynne Truss. It's supposed to be a lot more entertaining that it sounds.

A compound or compound-complex sentence would be written on the blackboard and you would be assigned to stand in front of the class with a piece of chalk to break it down and diagram it. You would explain to the class all of the components of the sentence in great detail or your nun would kick your ass up against a wall and then finish everything off with a punch to your head.

Later on I learned that public school teachers weren't as violent but they demanded no less in class.
