    <body><![CDATA[I'm still reading this, but give it 5 stars in advance!  This is the best fun I've had in a long, long time.  This guy reads dictionaries for fun, and read the Oxford English Dictionary  in one year (21,730 pages).  He's grumpy and hilarious.  He starts each chapter (by letter:  &quot;A&quot;, &quot;B&quot;, etc.) with a description of something--like &quot;Library People&quot;--people who hang out in libraries and how he's afraid he's turning into one.  But the best is the random list of words at the end of each chapter and his comments...like, &quot;Fard:  (v) to paint the face with cosmetics,so as to hide blemishes;  I suspect there is a reason no one ever gets up from the table and says, 'Excuse me while I go to the ladies room and fard. It seems to be very difficult to make a four-letter word that begins with 'f' sound like an activity that is polite to discuss at the dinner table.&quot;  My favorite words so far are:  &quot;jocoserious&quot; (half joking, half serious), &quot;nod-crafty&quot; (nodding ones' head wisely while someone is talking), and &quot;happify&quot; (to make happy).]]></body>
