Okay, I’m inspired by this (by way of Bookninja). When I was a kid, I read the Websters from a to zed, and now, on my Mat leave, along with working on the next novel, editing Charles Demer’s brilliant debut, and … oh, yeah, having a baby … I’m going to read the OED from cover to cover. The two-volume version, the one that comes with the magnifying glass in a little drawer. Yep. That’s a plan. Now, off to Abebooks to find me a lovely boxed set.
