- I like MRS. THISTLEBOTTOM'S HOBGOBLINS from Thomas Bernstein. Very
- un-dogmatic and fun to read. In fact, anything by Bernstein is usually worth
- reading, but this book not only discusses good grammar, but also discusses
- all of the stuff you're taught taht is either wrong or blown out of
- proportion.
