Woe is I by Patricia T O'Connor

Along the same geeky lines of 100 Words Every Highschool Graduate Should Know, I checked out this book on grammar in the hopes of improving mine.

This book is pretty amazing: it is a guide to English grammar that is clear, readable and even (gasp!) enjoyable to read. (Well that last one may be a stretch for some, but I must confess I enjoyed reading it.) With witty title headings (such as "Plurals Before Swine" and "The Which Trials") directing you to common grammatical mistakes and quick fixes, this book is a great guide for anyone who finds themselves writing an important paper or cover letter, or simply trying to improve their English.
