Description

‘Gemel’ is an old English word meaning ‘twin’ – Mark Forsyth’s Gemel Edition brings together a Sunday Times Number One bestseller and its highly anticipated sequel in a beautiful, stylish box set which is ideal as a gift. The Etymologicon springs from Mark Forsyth’s Inky Fool blog about the strange connections between words. The Horologicon – which means ‘a book of things appropriate to each hour’ - follows a day in the life of unusual, beautiful and forgotten English words.

But awesome for entertainment over short spans. I've been interested in etymologies since I took latin in high school, but this is the most entertaining book on them I've read. It crams a lot in (the information density is the largest reason why I can't read more than 10-15 pages in a sitting), but still stays both fascinating and funny. Highly recommended.
