I'm mid-way through Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, which may be the most entertaining book you'll ever read on punctuation. Lynn Truss, the author, really carries this book through her distinct style and voice. Standing alone, the subject matter doesn't go very far (its punctuation!!). Truss's (or is it Truss'??) voice shines through. Bringing this mostly random comment back to the topic at hand: a good, strong voice can take ordinary material and inject with much needed verve. I'm reminded of this when I read most of what is posted on commerical websites.
