nprbooks:Spotted at co-worker Kim Bryant’s house: a super classy referencebookcase, complete with dictionary podium. It’s just the kind of thing Iimagine putting in my library room, if I could ever afford to have a libraryroom. (Kim and her husband, Chris Willey, keep it in the hallway.)This thing isn’t just for show: Chris says, “Every few days to look up a word I’ve seensomewhere (in a book or article) or one I’m thinking of but of which I’veforgotten the meaning. … I highlight anything I look up.”Is it better than using the Internet? “Yes! Iffor no other reason than it doesn’t have annoying ads all over it.” I can’t argue with that.-NicoleP.S. In case you’re wondering, the highlighted word in thisphoto is “demiurgic.” -- source link
