This summer our patrons are sending in reviews to earn Literary Latte coupons. We will post them here. Cheers to reading diversity!
Bill Bryson. Mother Tongue.
reviewed by: Lauren Brown
While some of this history of English is familiar territory, it is told with Bryson's trademark humor and offers a few insightful nuggets. Lauren also recommends, When You Catch an Adjective, Kill It, She says, "This is a usage book, very entertaining, that challenged many of my long-held preconceptions."

Everything Mr. Bryson has written is worth every second I've used to read or listen. Simply a wonderful writer. Also try "The Life and Times of The Thunderbolt Kid" for a marvelous walk through the world of the 1950s in middle America - through the eyes of a kid.
