Further proof of my nerdiness-- I read a grammar book for fun. I wouldn't say that grammar has ever been a passion of mine, but perhaps a slight peripheral interest. (I was the one person in my class who enjoyed diagramming sentences.) Mignon Fogarty's
Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing made the topic of grammar interesting, relevant, and fun. She really knows her stuff and has a podcast and a website work checking out:

I found a student's guide to writing that she wrote as well. Isaac is reading it now and said that he finds it interesting and informative. So I'm officially promoting geekdom to future generations.

I love(and live in)Geekdom, so I'll need to check it out. Just purchased a similar book a few days ago. I will so get on her website (can't have Isaac pass be up in geekism) as well as look into the book
ReplyDeleteLet me know how the book you bought is. I'd be up for reading another grammar book in the future. And Geekdom is a nice place to live, isn't it?
