...The Elements of Style by William Strunk and E.B. White. Is it lame that I'm totally excited about reading this? Slash has anyone else read this book?

PS I hope this is in the right forum :/ It's a book on how to write so I figured discussion of the book would go here...

@Veracity

I this would go under entertainment > literature more than writing itself if we're discussing the book? idk, not too sure

didn't know that E B White went into the how-to write books, haha.

Anything particularly striking you got from it yet?

@Cilan
help move this please, if it needs to be...?

@Chen lol well this book was written by his cornell professor william strunk. after strunk died e.b. white was contacted by some people who wanted to sell the book to college students so he did some revisions. so far, it makes me really happy the first section includes every possible usage of a comma lol.
