Eats, Shoots & Leaves...

I have just finished reading "Eats, Shoots & Leaves"...

My daughter was reading this book for her English Literature class, and I picked it up...I try to read something out of most of the books the kids are using for school...No one in their class wanted to read "Withering-ly Dull Heights" or something along those lines.

What a great book!!!... I found it really funny, which is a bit peculiar considering it is a book about punctuation. It is very well written and the author has a great sense of humor. It is also very comprehensive...more than I thought I ever needed to know, but it is a fun read which move along at a good pace.

The main site for the book is here Feel free to stop by and test your puncutation skills...

On the serious side, a lot of our work consists of writing, which does not always come so easily for a lot of us...even if you strugle with the content, at least get the puncuation right!!!

I found out I use too many ellipses...which, by the way, are the 3 dot things I'm always sticking at the end of each thought...forgive me, Lynne Truss...I'm also a firm believer in the Oxford comma...boy, the stuff you didn't know!

In case you missed it, the punch line for the book is on the back of the dust jacket...it's about a panda...think about it, you'll get it...
