All about da blog

After a lifetime of failed new year resolutions- from wanting to wake up on time to solving world hunger, I have decided to tweak my previous resolution. I shall read and blog about less than or equal to 50 books during the course of the year- with emphasis on the "less than"

Book 11: Eats, Shoots and Leaves - Lynne Truss

Love this book- who would have thought that a book about grammar would be so entertaining? Not me! But I am now one of the converts - can't wait to read all those books with the fascinating names - "Pause and effect" or "Usage and abusage" or "You have a point there" or best of all "Mind the stop". Fascinating! I believe grammarians must be the most innovative book-namers. When I write my book I shall enlist one to give it a fancy name.
Ok! back to the book - Lynne is funny, entertaining and so utterly delightful that when it takes her all the way till page #33 to explain what the book does, all one wants to say is "aw shucks love, take longer." However, now whenever I write I am petrified if I need to add a comma; or should it be a semi colon ? I don't know if I improved my punctuation, but I sure as hell had a good read.
