You wouldn't imagine a book about the making of a dictionary to be very interesting, but you'd be wrong in this case. It's the story of the Oxford English Dictionary and one of its greatest contributors, who also happens to be an insane murderer. At least he had plenty of time to look up all those entries. Truly an amazing story that actually had me gasping at one point.
