What To Read?

Every wonder where words came from?

Frisbee came from a Connecticut woman who made pies.
Tantalize came via a Greek myth about a misbehaving son of Zeus.
Silhouette came from a French finance minister.

Are you intrigued as I am? Believe me when I was listening to this story on Morning Edition I knew this book would end up on What To Read. Anonyponymous: The Forgotten People Behind Everyday Words written by John Bemelmans Marciano is a discovery of word origins. I'm sure it will be a truly fascinating book and provide some great cocktail party banter!
