The Skeptic's Dictionary by Robert T Carroll (*)

[Sting]

Couldn't fit the full title, writer and star ratings in the subject field above so here it is in full ... "The Skeptic's Dictionary: A Collection of Strange Beliefs, Delusions, and Deceptions" by Robert Todd Carroll. The creator of skepdic.com.

Not a too serious read but a good introduction to terms and expressions from a writer who describes himself as a "hardened skeptic".
