I learned grammar from books I read as a child. I remember proofreading my essays, and thinking about how that thought would have been presented in a book I had read. I never could diagram a sentence worth a darn, but I never saw a dangling participle in
a book I read. I count my reading for getting good grades in English, and being able to write well enough to graduate from Harvard Law School.
I couldn't recommend reading books in English any more. Jane Austin and Laura Engels were particular favorites of mine.
