I’ve made several attempts to read the dictionary. I believe my most successful attempt lasted 12 consecutive days, at one hour per day. I started from the beginning and made it half way through “the B’s.” I occasionally wonder how many people still buy dictionaries. I suppose it’s something of tradition to own an actual 1,664 page, 3.8 lbs. dictionary. It’s just that electronic versions seem so much more, well, up-to-speed. Not to mention less heavy.
