"Eats, Shoots and Leaves"

After reading this book, I hope that I have better punctuation skills. (We shall see!) While this book is about punctuation, (blah) it is not a boring book; it is actually, quite humorous! "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" was recommended to me at least a dozen times. I do not know why I never read it until now, but I do HIGHLY recommend it. (Especially to those of you that like to correct the grammar or punctuation of others.)

Here's an excerpt from the back cover:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

“Why?” asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

“Well, I'm a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.”

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”
