Anguished English by Richard Lederer
Richard Lederer is the true king of language comedy. Anguished English is the funniest book I have ever read. --Sidney Sheldon
Anguished English is filled with accidental misuses of language that will delight and entertain you. This book has all the student bloopers, dangling modifiers, misread headlines, and malapropisms imaginable. It's a must-have for word lovers everywhere.
