Oh, this is simply marvelous. I’m always thrilled to find out that I’ve never been the only one who loved to read the dictionary just because it was interesting in itself.

I may have to go find this book and devour it.

Lovely review, Rebecca! I could be this guy–sit me down with a bunch of strange words and I can entertain myself for hours.

He should have callled his book “OCD for the OED.”

I love, love, love disasinate. I’m hoping to find a way to use it today. This was a great review, I can’t wait to read this.
