An obsessive word lover’s account of reading the Oxford English Dictionary cover to cover.
“I’m reading the OED so you don’t have to. If you are interested in vocabulary that is both spectacularly useful and beautifully useless, read on...”
So reports Ammon Shea, the tireless, word-obsessed, and more than slightly masochistic author of Reading the OED . The word lover’s Mount Everest, the OED has enthralled logophiles since its initial publication 80 years ago. Weighing in at 137 pounds, it is the dictionary to end all dictionaries.
In 26 chapters filled with sharp wit, sheer delight, and a documentarian’s keen eye, Shea shares his year inside the OED , delivering a hair-pulling, eye-crossing account of reading every word, and revealing the most obscure, hilarious, and wonderful gems he discovers along the way.
从陆谷孙先生的《余墨集》里得知这本书,读完后感觉作者实在幸福,抽出一整年的时间读完OED并在此期间基本靠女友养活,实乃我辈懒人的羡慕对象。书中对一些单词的摘录及作者的评论构成了章节的主体,也是本书醍醐味所在。但手头电子版最大的问题在于排版不时出现错误,读的过程随之变成了排版的过程。好在一遍读完排版也修复了七七八八,等手头新书读过后就择日再读一遍。
