The African Svelte: Ingenious Misspellings That Make Surprising Sense by Daniel Menaker

3.0

A little book on language errors that are amusing and sometimes more apt than you would expect. I enjoyed many of these, but found that the best ones were at the beginning and the concept and originality seemed to be less interesting as the book went on. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I had not tried to read the whole thing in one fell swoop -- little tastes would have gone down better.
