Crazy English

Crazy English could make a good "bathroom book". There is almost no narrative in the book, and each short chapter stands on its own.

Many of the chapters are lists of items, or pretentious attempts at stuffing every single instance of some oddity in to a "story". There is a dialog where a person responds entirely in palindromes, and another where somebody makes all plurals "irregular". Some of these chapters can be extremely tedious, while others are worth reading. This makes it a good candidate for a quick skim.
