What I Read -- Fucking Apostrophes

S was wandering our local public library, as he is wont to do when he has some time to kill, and found this delightful little gem.  It's a grammar book, but it's a short and funny one and worth the twenty minutes or so that one must put into learning how to appropriately use an apostrophe.

Reading tip: do not skip the examples.  They contain such humorous pop cultural references as: "Miley Cyrus's father refused to comment," "Rihanna's and Jennifer's photos were all over the internet," and "Donald removed his hair and put it back in its cage."

For those Anglophiles out there (myself included), it's important to know that St. James's Park is a park in London, St. James' Park is the NUFC stadium, and St. James Park is the Exeter FC stadium.  Who can keep track of these things?!
