This dictionary is a great thing to have. It's just so fascinating.

Recommends Oxford historical thesaurus
Have you seen the Oxford historical thesaurus? Fantastic. It must be one of the last great books produced as a printed object.

Loved The Jeeves Omnibus - Vol 1
I read it because it was a book, and books were fun. I thought it was terrific. Really wonderfully funny. I've gone on thinking that for the subsequent 60 years or so.

Recommends The Summer Book
Sophie and her grandmother spend a lot of time pottering about and playing and building little Venetian lagoons for the ants to go into and that sort of thing. It's very funny and very charming. And you think that's all it is—a sweet little book about a child and her grandmother.

Loved Pereira Maintains
I think it's the most wonderful novel of the last 20 years. I can't think of anything I admire more.

Loved The Book of Disquiet
I find it intoxicating. I love it very much. I'm almost inclined to make it my desert island book if I get a second go on Desert Islands Discs.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
