Book 64: The Surgeon of Crowthorne by Simon Winchester



An atypical foray into non-fiction here for me - this was something Geoff read, which he thought I'd enjoy - a small book about one of the original contributors to the OED, who happened to be a paranoid schizophrenic and a murderer as well. Fascinating.

As a grad student at UConn and Trinity College Dublin, I wanted to own my personal copy of the complete OED! This title definitely goes on my TBR (to be read) list.................
