• The Joy of Lex

  A fun, happy, wondrous book, the sub-title gives it away, "How to have Fun with 860,341,500 words." Author Brandreth calls himself a "word freak" in an attempt to explain why he wrote this book, but, really now, we can't leave that alone. Wordsmith is more appropriate, being this is a new millennium, and all. Perhaps in his day people who played with words were freaks. One can only wonder.
