Hey /lit/, I wanted to ask about books that explain the finer points of the English language. Grammar, syntax, diction, sentence structure and the like, I feel like it would help me better analyze an author's style if I knew more about the nuts and bolts of language. Do you guys have any suggestions?

I don't know about that, /lit/ says a lot of dumb stuff but I think that they have a good deal of knowledge in some respects.

The only thing I can think of is Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style," and it's more oriented towards learning how to write better. Still, it's a fun read and I'd recommend it anyway.

I'm having trouble thinking of anything good for analyzing a writing style. You hear things, like how good writers avoid adjectives and stuff like that, but I've never read a book on the subject.
