Bookaholic with a weekly blog, aptly named Bookaholic.

MY FASCINATION WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE never stops; it's an incredible treasure trove of stolen or borrowed words, quaint to the point of wha? expressions, a history from before history, a morphing neologistic mishmash, a mutt of a language. Included here (just because) are books of humor.
