Lynn Truss...

... writes in a fantastically amusing manner. I literally laughed out loud when I read Eats, Shoots & Leaves, and did so again with Talk to the Hand this week. Two particularly interested bits:

"Choice from menus is a burden dressed up as a privilege."

Think about it. Also:

"There is a line in the new Batman film which I can't quote exactly but is, in others words: 'It's not who you are deep inside that matters, Burce Wayne; it's what you do that defines you.' Morally speaking, however, Batman Begins is a bit confused and should not be taken as a model for good living. For one thing, the morally squalid city of Gotham does not appear to be worth saving from obliteration; in fact, the obliteration of Gotham looks like a dandy idea."

I can actually hear a British accent when I read it.
