While not my favorite punctuation mark — that would be the em dash — I hold a great affection for the semicolon. That affection is obviously shared by Cecelia Watson, and it has driven her to write a witty history of this specific mark that extends to explore our relationship with grammar and language more generally. An alternate title could be The Semicolon; Against Pedantry, but some would no doubt quibble. Recommended By Keith M., Powells.com
