Writing with Style: Conversations on the Art of Writing (2nd Edition)

by John R. Trimble

I highly suggest this “writing manual”. I purchased this book for a class a few years ago and read it, yes read it, while commutting on my beloved Route 1 (which is now Routes 1L and 1M, but that’s not the point).
The style of book led itself to be read as a book, not as a reference work. Tremble takes the reader through the entire writing process and includes the very helpful “sometimes you need to break the rules”.
Overall, it is a very good book and I would suggest it to anyone who would like some advice on how to write.
