The Mother Tongue: English and How it got That Way by, Bill Bryson

Believe it or not, this book was fun to read. Bryson is a very good writer and he presents factual information in a light hearted way. I read this while taking a course on the history of the English language and found this book to be a highlight. Bryson helps put our wacky language into perspective- be prepared to laugh. I can't wait to read another book by him; he is a fantastic writer.
