So I have always loved reading and wondered if anyone had a favourite word or phrase?
I read a lot of historical fiction so my favourites tend to be of a bygone era. I love the word melancholic. I also love the word apothecary. I can't tell you why but I just love the sound of them in my head. If I say them out loud it doesn't sound the same though. Weird.
I love words that really capture the essence of their meaning so that you instantly get a strong image just from reading them. Words often get stuck in my head, which I suppose is a bit like mental echolalia (a new favourite of mine ha ha).
Would be interested to see if anyone else feels likewise.
