Unfortunate English : The Gloomy Truth Behind The Words You Use.

No quote from this one because it's currently locked up in a suitcase, along with the rest of my books. We're gonna paint my room this weekend and you really don't care. (:
I was thinking about what we needed to read this term. Then I realized I didn't do the one for last quarter. Oops. Here it goes!
I picked up this book at The Afternoon, expecting something hilarious or down right vile and horrendous, because, well, I got it at The Afternoon, you go in there and expect the unexpected. I got both. This book is a sort of dictionary; it tells you the true origins and the meaning of the word. And, I tell you, some of them are pretty funny and disgusting and disturbing all at the same time.
I'm finding it rather hard to write about a nonfiction book. But the idea of this one was really great, it's not written by a doctor or anything, so I suppose it isn't quite the most officially type of book, but whatever. It's entertaining.
I suggest this book for anyon willing to help this author become rich and to anyone whose morbid and hilarious all at the same time. (:
