My dear friend Brian just gave me The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: A Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed by Karen Elizabeth Gordon.  

This is the best grammar reference EVER.  Grok these example sentences:

She wriggled in acknowledgment or writhed in uncalled-for shame.

His huge, calm, intelligent hands wrestled with her confusion of lace.

Into the circle of blind conformists leaps a dissident shining with woe.

He, she, and it surrendered the samovar, lost their patience, and tried to find their shoes.

I never would have imagined that I'd be so jammed about a grammar book.
