Hey there I understand how difficult getting the grammar of a foreign language right can get. Contrary to what the others may suggest you...I would suggest you NOT to READ JUST ANYTHING. If you really want to improve your grammar buy a book that would help you do so...an English Grammar book for ICSE 8th standard students should work just great..Conjugations, Present, Future and Past tenses..they cover them all...And above all dont hesitate saying "I dont know"...coz thats how knowledge begins. Good luck to you my friend!

It helps to read good books, not NY Times bestsellers. Also, the writing is very good in the New Yorker magazine, and Harpers. Read Lewis Lapham's editorials. They are gems of good grammar.
I'm a writer and use many reference books. Two I would recommend are Elements of Style by Strunk and White, and Elements of Grammar by Margaret Shertzer. They are very short and easy to read.

there are self help books you can buy that can help you. Also if you want to learn one or the other language better try to make friends with someone who is fluent in that respect, it should help, there are tapes you can purchase and things to read also that will help you.

Read anything you can get your hands on. Your local newspaper is an excellent example.
