I'm having a little trouble settling on a new book to read. For the last hour, I've been paging through a little gem that I borrowed from Alex called The Wordsworth Book of Intriguing Words by Paul Hellweg. Right now, I've got kopophobia = fear of fatigue. I've discovered that I'm a logolept = a word maniac. Somehow, I already knew bibliophile = one who loves books. A little later, I'm definitely going for the apples and peanut butter snack because I most assuredly do not have arachibutyrophobia = fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of my mouth.

lol...reminds me of the shel silverstein poem about the prince who loves peanut butter sandwiches!
good job on the reading--you have way more fortitude than i! keep going!!
What a fun-sounding book! There's a similar one called "Reading the OED" about a guy who spent a year reading the Oxford English Dictionary. (He could have been the honorary chair of the Read-a-thon.) He has all kinds of fun words. There's a book review on my blog about it.
Happy Read-a-Thoning!
