May 14: Dictionary

1. Wow! The Dictionary, like I've never heard it before:

2. which reminded me to visit the wonderful Word Imperfect...

3. ...and to locate poet Christian Bök's Eunoia, in which every word in English containing one of the vowels exclusively is written into its corresponding chapter A, E, I, O or U. Each chapter has its own distinct feel, e.g., ‘Goons who shoot folks knock down doors, storm control rooms. Bronx cops do crowd control. Corps of shock-troops cordon off two blocks of shops to look for kooks who concoct knock-off bombs.’ Brilliant.

The book is not long; there is even a Flash version. Here is the official link: http://www.chbooks.com/archives/online_books/eunoia/
