Anyone have recommended reading/study material for improving my English? Sorry if this isn't on topic for this board. If it isn't then please delete my topic mods.

I'm interested in learning to improve my writing, grammar, and vocabulary. As you can see now, it's terrible.

It's not that terrible if you plan to be commenting informally on the internet.

I want a diverse vocabulary and proper grammar for formal settings. I don't want to seem uneducated to the general populace or business world.

I only see one mistake that you made; there should be a comma between "topic" and "mods."

Also, you seem to have fairly a fairly good grasp of the English language, especially if you aren't a native speaker. My advice? Read. I personally prefer fiction. Perhaps Eragon or The Ranger's Apprentice, for they are both good stories where the author throws in some longer and more ornate words here and there.

Yeah, that seems like a good idea for the vocabulary part. Still doesn't solve the problem with grammar.

Why not read fiction written in english? It will improve your vocabulary. You could also read it out loud.

So far I've downloaded The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation and Comma Sense: A Fun-damental Guide to Punctuation. I have also found a site named grammar-monster.com.

And I understand the need to read more for the vocabulary part. I'm going to work on reading a lot more. I downloaded Snow Crash and Neuromancer recently. Thanks for the book suggestions from the other Lainon.

Thanks Lainon! I'm adding this book to my studies.
