A few weeks ago, a Haleyfan recommended a book to the rest of us here on this site. I apologize: I don't remember the name of the book or who suggested it, but at the time it reminded me that I've long toyed with the idea of starting a thread for those of us who are readers.
So it's officially begun. This past Friday, I learned of a new book entitled
Spinglish, a collection of examples of deliberately deceptive language or, as the authors call it, a "bullschictionary." No, I haven't read it yet, but will. Here's the url for the announcement that I received:

One of the reasons this caught my eye is due to recent discussions here regarding plagiarism, which (apparently) now viewed as "unacknowledged repetition."
I look forward to getting my hands on this book.
What are
you reading and want to recommend?
