What Members Thought
I really liked this book about the strange personalities it takes to create a new dictionary. The Japanese have much more poetic names for their dictionaries compared to English language dictionaries - The fictional Great Passage fits right in with the real dictionaries Wide Garden of Words, Great Forest of Words, and Great Sea of Words.
