Alphabet Juice : The Energies, Gists, and Spirits of Letters, Words, and Combinations Therof; Their Roots, Bones, Innards, Piths, Pips, and Secret Parts, Tinctures, Tonics, and Essences; With Examples of Their Usage Foul and Savory by Roy Blount Jr.
This was a fun book, full of random trivia and words. Organized like a dictionary, with a chapter for each letter, it has a plethora of both common and bizarre words. It would make the perfect bathroom book (ie something to read on the john while doing your business).
this book looks so awesome! i want to read it today.
