Just for fun, my husband and I checked out this book and read it out loud on our way into Spokane the other day. While I suppose this is a rather geeky way to spend an hour, it was much better than listening to commercials on the radio.
While the book did contian some useful terms, it tended to be biased towards the sciences (words like chromosome or mitosis were common), politics, and business. While many terms were useful, I think many good words from other disciplines or areas of life got left off the list.
Though I think this book could be helpful for those looking to learn new words, I think it would be far more interesting and instructive to read the dictionary. Better yet, I think you’d do more for your vocabulary by simply reading a good book.
