I just discovered a book.

It is titled 101 Words that will make YOU “Sound Smarter Right Away!”.

Compiled by Kim Rogers, this book would be a wonderful gift for a teenager or adult.

Inspired by the author’s father, who apparently learned every single word in a 50,000-word dictionary, this book is obviously a work of love.

I can imagine some of these words appearing on an SAT exam.

Those adults who know the definitions of these words definitely have an advantage over those adults who do not know them.

And the price is right, too.

The author has lovingly identified a collection of English words that are not all at the tips of the tongues of most Americans.

I confess that I did not recognize all of the words in the book. And some of the words that were familiar to me had different definitions than what I expected.

As my father loved to say, “Learning never ends,” and this book for me is an example of what we all need: continual intellectual stimulation and growth.

No matter whether English is your native language or is a foreign language, I highly recommend that you read what the author says about this book and then buy it!
