Without #words there would be no books. So, I'm glad that humankind came up with written languages and I am very grateful for learning to read and write.

Hat tip to the always fantastic @Birdsong28 for sharing this gem on Litsy earlier. 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My colleagues got a kick out of this. #LitsyHumor
pickThis book was a lot of fun, even making me laugh aloud on several occasions, which books don‘t often make me do. I wish the sections of his writing about himself were much longer; they were amusing & endearing. After each of those, he gives a short selection of gems he discovered for each letter of the alphabet, see: lectory, introuvable, longueur, & desiderium for Litsy types. Yup, a fun & fast read that makes me love my many dictionaries more.
I think we can safely classify this as an #obsession! #maybookflowers

#TBRtemptation post 5! Shea spent a year reading the Oxford English Dictionary from cover to cover. This is his journey on the ordeal. It is the word-lover's Mt. Everest coming in at 137 pounds & billed as the ultimate English word source. Here are 26 chapters, hair-pulling, eye-crossing, irreverent, in the reading of every word there is. This oughta be good. I'd go out of my gourd. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
