I love this book, but I'm never going to read it cover to cover. Lord.

I've only read the preface and a couple bits that pertained to the usage issue of "that" versus "which," but I thiiink that's a sufficient amount of reading for me to determine that Bryan A. Garner is my hero.

I poke around in this massive volume, read Garner's brilliant little mini-essays about usage, and a warm, geeky feeling blooms in my chest. Just about the best book on language and its use I've come across. It's like a box of bon-bons if you like this sort of thing.
