You mentioned Partridge - I was reading a review of Garner's awhile back and remember the reviewer saying Garner had discovered Partridge's book at the age of 16. He was so captivated he went on to memorize large portions of it. I'm not saying we should pick just one book on writing, but if we were to pick just one, this one gets my vote. "Flannery O'Connor ranks with Mark Twain and Scott Fitzgerald among our finest prose stylists. Her epigrams alone are worth the price of the book . . . which should be read by every writer and would-be writer and lover of writing."--John Leonard, The New York Times amazon.com
