I couldn't read this because a) it was so yellow-paged and gross and b) it's hardly a book made for reading straight though, just excerpts of his column. Interesting, though, what I did read: the state of our english language's evolution in 1980. But does it really matter whether we say "it is clear" or "clearly," and isn't it pretty pointless of me to find this interesting? And shouldn't I stop buying nasty old disintegrating books at the Goodwill then giving them back?

A collection of Safire's newspaper columns in which he discusses the proper use of language. Fun to just browse through.
