Essence of english

Aldous Huxley

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 1992

Brilliant and Intriguing
I was glued to this book. Huxley has amazing foresight, and although some of the ideas in the book are a bit out there, it doesn't detract from the important ideas that the book presents. He makes many good points on where the world could all to easily lead with just ...

Zen Cat

Rodale Books, 2003

Meow in the Now
Not a cat book per se. It is Zen through example. Deceptively simple (of course). I laughed out loud several times in a Starbucks while reading it. The pairing of photos and aphorisms is wonderful, some of which I still have yet to truly appreciate, I think.

EVERYTHING I EXPECTED!
THIS IS THE BEST KOREAN DICTIONARY I'VE SEEN. IT'S WELL WORTH WHAT I PAID FOR IT. IT LISTS LOTS OF DEFINITIONS AND IS VERY THOROUGH. I ESPECIALLY LIKE IT BECAUSE OF ITS EXPLANATIONS AND EXAMPLES OF HOW TO USE THE WORD IN A SENTENCE. BY THE WAY, THERE ARE TWO ...

Great reference!
I'm not sure why Amazon lists it as published in 1997, but FYI - the one I have is the 8th Edition, published in 2002 so there is a very current and up to date version available. Is it comprehensive? Well, with 3,232 pages and more than 142,000 entries - it's called ...
