I really enjoyed reading all the books by Mark Forsyth, be they on the English language, drunkenness, or Christmas, etc. I love his humor and I enjoy learning something interesting in such a lighthearted way. Regarding books on writing, I’ve also already read books by June Cassagrande and Benjamin Dreyer, who write in an equally entertaining style. But I’m not looking specifically for books on writing. They can be pretty much on anything (even fictional), as long as they share a similar lighthearted humor.
