Manual Labour'Writing guides, grammar books, punctuation how-tos . . . do you read them? Not read them? How many writing books, grammar books, dictionaries–if any–do you have in your library?'
I did read some writing guides when I was on my MA course...ones on how to write a dissertation etc.
I do have some grammar books which I used when I was teaching English (High School years 7 -13 and Adult Education classes).
I also have a copy of 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss, which is quite amusing!
I occasionally like to look through a dictionary to learn new words or look something up.

There is something about a paper dictionary that is a lot more exploratory than an online one.
I like how you can just flip open to a page and learn something new.
I feel somewhat same. I love my dictionaries, thesaurus and my poetry handbook by Mary Oliver!
My BTT post!
