BERKLEY The Oxford Essential Guide to Writing

I use this book in writing lectures.

Wow - what detail. Paragraphs, sentences, clauses...You may benefit more from this is you have at least a partial understanding of grammar but I found it fascinating - It might come across as a bit old-fashioned and certainly not the most sparky of tomes for the copy-writer but it's solid and methodical and has all the right information for the writer who wants to express their ideas/opinions/facts in the best possible way.

If you have heard of prose and love to write, read this book. I have read it once and am currently reading it again, slowly. I like the part on sentence formation. It even discusses mimetic rhythm. Grammar books might not seem like a lot of fun to read, even for writers, however I find reading this book to be enjoyable. It is full of great quotes and gives valuable insight to writing. If you want to improve your skills, you will enjoy reading this book. It is one of my top five books I have read, and that means I enjoyed it as much as a handful of classics. I discovered the author G. K. Chesterton while reading this book, a historical master of witty/fun prose, and I also highly recommend it (the book) often, to others.
