Quid Pro Quo: What the Romans Really Gave the English Language by Peter Jones

5.0

I personally liked this book as it reminded me of those days when I used to read dictionaries. But this was even more fun with the historical anecdotes and the author’s witty remarks. This made me look at English in a different light and learning how it developed over the centuries was intriguing. How some words were completely different from what they used to be before, to how a lot of factors contributed to make them what they’re called today; this just kept me asking for more eccentric stories.

I want to learn Latin even more now.
