A book that can be read for knowledge ... or just for fun
Jag Bhalla's I'm Not Hanging Noodles on Your Ear is one of those rare types of books that can be read for pure enjoyment or for knowledge about how other cultures and countries express themselves. For those who would like a few fun facts with which to amaze their friends, this is the book for you. Or for those who would like a basic, generalized introduction to the subject, this book is a great starting point.I greatly enjoyed reading this book. My only quibble is that I sometimes found myself wishing for more in-depth explanations at several points in the book.

New idioms
Nations and languages have unique ways of putting things which only the natives understand.

A fun read -- and a fascinating look at the culture of language!
This book is just plain fun! If you love language as I do, you'll find it very enjoyable. As a native English speaker who has studied Latin, French, and Spanish, seeing how (literally) foreign cultures express themselves in metaphor and idiom is fascinating.If non-English speakers find our English idioms as strange as I/we find theirs, no wonder English is so difficult to master. Highly recommended!

Nightstand Noodles
This is a fine nightstand book, because it's a bit of a sleep inducer. The author's prose is bright, amusing and cleverly insightful about the marvels of language, but much of the book is just lists of expressions and their meanings, dictionary style.

unusual idioms from all over
This was a gift for my brother and he was enjoying it at Christmas. I have no idea if he is still reading it. To me, there was A LOT to it, infact, too much. But if he liked it then it is fine.
