When You Catch an Adjective, Kill It

When You Catch an Adjective, Kill It by Ben Yagoda takes a lighthearted look at English parts of speech.  This is a surprisingly informative (& readable) book.  The author takes each part of speech one by one and goes off a bit stream of consciousnessly on it taking care to tuck in plenty of factual information.  All in all a book I enjoyed & would recommend to others.
