The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase by Mark Forsyth
funny
informative
lighthearted
fast-paced
5.0
Method: physical book
Genuinely one of the funniest and most informative books I've ever read, and definitely my favourite book about rhetoric and the English language.
I deeply wish I'd read this book when I was in high school - partly because it would have been very useful to me when studying English, and partly because it would have helped me feel both more competent and more confident in creative writing (and writing in general).
This gets 5/5 stars from me because I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading.
