The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll through the Hidden Connections of the English Language by Mark ForsythMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Very readable journey through the meanings of words in the English Language. Forsyth has a very breezy writing style and the short sections makes this one to easily get through.
Some fascinating tales, love how rich the English Language is - bastardised from countless languages whether it be through mishearings, mispronunciations, evolution through time or just plain stealing.
