...starts reading the phone book...
Its worse than a russian novel.. all those characters, and no plot!


as for the dictionary, i used to sit and read it*, but i don't much do that any more.. but i do sometimes go scurring about, letting one word lead me to another. and when i get a specialty dictionary.. i do tend to sit and read it.. but i never sat and read the OED.. (to heavy to hold, and the font was to small to read with it sitting in your lap)
* i loved reading the dictionary as a child.
