#blameitonLitsy @well.read.panda 's post had me piqued by the book' s dictionary format. It helped that it's available only at the library branch I pass by almost daily. So of course I picked it up!

Pickpick

This novel in the form of a dictionary has some really intriguing linguistic philosophy going on in it. I recommend it to anyone interested in language, and especially Chinese languages and dialects.

BookishMe Wow! And it's available at the nearest library branch ;D will pick it up soon 6y
