FRANKENSTEIN, by Mary Shelley. This is probably the most star twisted romance ever written.. This book is created so the pages turn, and every time you reopen the book it will find the very page you left off at.

This in-depth exploration of the English language covers every nuance and curiosity of this constantly evolving linguistic pastiche. It is estimated that every year 800 neologisms are added to the English language, and include acronyms (NIMBY, Not In My Backyard), blended words (motel), and those taken from foreign languages (savoir-faire). Laid out in an a-to-z format with detailed cross-references and written to appeal equally to students, etymologists, and nonnative speakers, this historical guide is an invaluable resource for this truly global lingua franca.
How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic by Madsen Pirie
This is the book your friends will wish you hadn't
read, a witty and infectious guide to arguing successfully. Each entry
deals with one fallacy, explaining what the fallacy is, giving and
analysing an example, outlining when/where/why the particular fallacy
tends to occur and finally showing how you can perpetrate the fallacy
on other people in order to win an argument. Originally published to
great acclaim in 1985 as "The Book of Fallacy", this is a classic
brought up-to-date for a whole new generation. (amazon.co.uk)
