English Writing

As I write more and more blog posts, I found it is necessary to learn more about English writing.

The following is a book review I read recently, which I found it's a good example of writing.

"With the increasing number of Linux programming books on the market, the new Linux coder is left in a bit of a muddle.
Information about Linux is spreading—a good thing in terms of the open-source model and the community that supports it. The influx of new Linux authors also tends to decrease the odds of finding literacy and technical expertise in the same place. Numerous would-be writers ride the popularity wave of “Penguin Power!”, resulting in increasing numbers of Linux “bibles”, most of which are just as difficult to follow as the original and not nearly as imaginative. In either case, the context is most often distorted, if presented at all. Then again, there are exceptions."
