I want to strengthen my grasp of English.

To be specific, I want to improve my writing skills and my ability to analyse and criticise books.

What are the best ways to do this?
Any text book recommendations?

I would take a college course in English if I wasn't already in a computer science course. I have started writing a diary to practice and I read a lot but I have yet to notice any improvement. Perhaps I'm simply being impatient; I really am ignorant of the learning process.
I should also mention that English is, in fact, my first language.

Get a simple book of grammar preferably something with worksheets. When I was in high school, my English teacher, who didn't care about us, just gave us grammar worksheets, and it actually was really helpful. As cheesy as it sounds, you should do the same.

Otherwise, you just have to keep reading and writing to strengthen your grasp of English. That's all there is to it. You just have to be patient.
