December Books 12) Gateway 13) Eats Shoots and Leaves
12) Gateway by Frederik Pohl. As good as I remembered it as being. Wrote full review for my website.
13) Eats Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. An occasionally entertaining rant against contemporary (lack of) punctuation. I think it's all a bit exaggerated myself; language is dynamic, not static, and I doubt that the level of literacy in general has deteriorated much in recent decades; what has happened is that more people are writing, so you are more likely to encounter people with poor writing style than would have been the case fifteen years ago.
