An Exaltation of Larks: The Ultimate Edition by James Lipton
3.0
Okay, this is just neat.
The terms in this book, the real ones, are amusing as hell. The ones that were made up and collected by James Lipton are so witty and hilarious. I can't even remember all of them. Of course, I remember "A Mount of Porn Stars". "A Rack of Sadomasochists." I would remember those, wouldn't I?
The only reason it doesn't get more stars is because the explanation for some of the terms is written in such a way as to need it's own explanation. I wish I'd had a dictionary on me while reading it, because some of the words were beyond my understanding. Wow.
A really fun book.
