The Etymologicon: A Circular Stroll through the Hidden Connections of the English Language:
"I’m sorry to say that as time went on I found this book very boring. It is written in a serpentine fashion, with the origin of one word slipping kind of seamlessly into the origin of the next, and it is written in a rather chummy down-the-pub kind of"
