If you appreciate the English language.....

A wonderful, fun book to read--a collection of his essays--some dated, but that doesn't matter. We Canadians know he has a tendency toward pomposity--more importantly, he knows that and obviously enjoys milking that to its fullest. He is a brilliant observer with a slanted lens who is truly a wordsmith to the utmost power. Whether or not you agree with his point of view (and I tend to more often than not), you appreciate the English language more because of his command of it. Wonderfully funny--with diction to die for--Murphy makes us laugh at ourselves. I have given it to several friends who agree.
