MADE IN AMERICA: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States (1994) by Bill Bryson
This is a very enjoyable nonfiction book that I keep coming back to.
Bryson delves into the history of uniquely American language and culture, and the facts he uncovers are both funny and fascinating.
For example: where does the word "hamburger" really come from? What's the origin of slang terms like "hepcat"?
You'll love this book. I promise it.
