Elements of Style by William Strunk

My rating: 4/5

This tiny book is a gemstone of grammar. It’s how to write, in a technical sense: how to use the tools of grammar correctly. From when to use a semicolon to sentence structure, split infinitives to commonly misued words, this book contains all the rules my generation should have been taught at school but wasn’t. So much of my writing I compose intuitively; reading this has given me the confidence to know why some sentences are better than others. Outdated in places, and a very dry read, but definitely valuable!
