Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss

This clearly isn't a classic, but it's a great book. Originally published in England, it became a bestseller and moved on to America. There were too many British things in it, such as her saying 'jolly' as an ejaculation and the 'petrol' station, so they didn't change it a bit for the American audience. They also call periods 'full-stops' and parentheses 'brackets'. It was a book about punctuation and was tremendously funny. I couldn't help laughing out loud all the way through it. She's clearly a stickler for correct punctuation, and this is one of my favorite kinds of books. I wish she had written another about grammar. Unfortunately, it's a library book, and I'll have to return it someday......
