It is heart-warming without being cheesy. And it's regularly funny. My favorite part about it is that no editors really fixed the fact that he sounds like English is not his mother tongue. Robin, I haven't read it, but I do read it. Don't let the word "dictionary" in the title throw you off. It's actually almost all essays on how English is used, complete with quotations from the best writers of our language as evidence. Great bedtime reading! Carissa,
