This was such an interesting read! Not just for the history behind the words, but it was chocked full of interesting historical factoids and for a history nut like me, that makes for a great read! Often times books of this nature can be a bit dry in their reading, but the author just has such an engaging voice, with touches of humor etc. throughout. A really really good book and a must read for any history nut!
