What amazes me most is when you have managed to scrape through the understanding of languages; someone has mastered them beyond humans. That is my understanding of Shashi Tharoor's mastery of the language. About 50 words, some very much in regular vocabulary, some from Tharoorobulary (my amateurish authorism), have been explained thread-bare; their etymology, alternate usage, who said it, etc. It is fun reading the book. Yet what worries me is whether I learnt the nuances enough to apply them in real life.
Almost unputdownable. Yet, do not gulp more than you can chew to make the learning persistent.
