Anne is finished

An entire book on the verb be? Just an utter delight, is all.

Anne is on page 8 of 208

Not sure why I even bothered to borrow this from another library; after reading 8 pages I can already tell I'm going to want to own this for frequent re-reading!!

Anne is starting

I could start that massive book club book ooooor I could start a book dedicated entirely to the verb "to be." LOL, tough call!

"Thanks to its remarkable history, be has developed a greater range of meanings and uses, and a wider range of variant forms, than any other English word-1,812 so far recorded by the OED lexicographers, both in the standard language and in regional dialects." [p. viii]

Whoa!
