Semicolon
By Cecelia Watson
“Delightful” (The New Yorker): Martin Luther King Jr. and Herman Melville used it. George Orwell hated it. Learn how an unassuming punctuation mark became a grammatical battleground. “Essential reading for anyone who cares about language” (The Boston Globe).

This book isn't really about the punctuation mark; rather, it's a response to grammar pedantry.
Weirdly interesting! If you care about language (or at least the English language) at all, I would recommend this! Not too long either, so it doesn't overstay its welcome.
If I had more writing talent I would try to sneak the proper use of a semicolon into this review, but alas; you'll have to make do with this abomination of a sentence.
