It’s time (why not?) for our annual column of recommended books. What book have you read in the last two years that you’d like to recommend to Papyrus News readers?
I’ll re-recommend James Paul Gee’s What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy, which I previously reviewed on Papyrus News.
What book would you like to recommend?
Papyrus News 
Since Mark welcomed personal items, this book just came out, which focuses on functional situations, accuracy and sufficient formality of register. I wrote the Foreword and did the proofreading of the English:
Get Speaking Right: Suitable Expressions for Effective Communication.
by Abdul Hameed Mohamed Mydin and Ahbul Zailani Begum Mohamed Ibrahim
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia: Prentice Hall / Pearson Education (2004); ISBN 983-3205-04-6.

Since I went to a presentation of his last year I’ve been waiting for this book from Vijay Bhatia (City University, Hong Kong):
“Worlds of Written Discourse: a genre-based view” (2004) London & New York: Continuum
Series editors: Chris Chandlin and Srikant Sarangi
That’s top of my list for the moment.
