An Exaltation of Larks: The Ultimate Edition by James Lipton

4.0

A quick and incredibly fun read. Lipton loves to play with language and invites you to join. The book is an exploration of what he dubs the Venereal Game; it collects what may be called "nous of multitude," "company terms," "nouns of assemblage," or "group terms" such as gaggle of geese and school of fish. Lipton takes us a lot farther and opens a field of study unknown. If it ever amused you to find out a group of crows was called a murder, than this book is for you.
