A word I read yesterday: cumulonimbus
"A cumulonimbus theatre towered over Athens's Syntagma Square."(From Fugitive Pieces by Canadian Anne Michaels) A word I had to look up. I knew it was about clouds but not which type of clouds.
I recommend the book as beautiful in writing as well as in contents.

Now I'm off into the Joseph O'Neill book "Netherland". Perfect to take on vacation, though I need to bring a small dictionary.

Also taking on vacation : "Ararat" by Frank Westerman. A Dutch writer for a change, but one who has been translated in many languages: review
