4.75/5 @thestorygraph for "The Oxford Dictionary of Etymology" Durkin's passion for his subject shines through and lifts the quality of his writing, from beginning
"I would like to thank the dedicatees of this book ("my parents") for tolerating a child’s at times rather obsessive interest in very old documents and even older words."
to end
"like all the best intellectual pursuits, once the bug is caught, it is likely to remain with one for life." #AmReading#ebooks#etymology@bookstodon
