“A new word is not just another pattern of syllables with which to clutter you mind –A new word is a new idea to help you think, to help you understand the thoughts of others, to help you express your own thoughts, to help you live a richer intellectual life.” pg. 141
I immensely enjoyed this book. It is an interesting read on its own, as well as a reference guide and a grammatical aid. It will sit next to my dictionary for a long time and will be used frequently. It is a perfect tool for someone looking to expand their lexicon, whether they be in their teens, twenties, thirties or older. It’s perfect for logophiles and those who are striving to increase their literary education. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in words or their etymology.
