by MacMillan General Books I was very impressed with how well Adams and Lloyd seemed to know the random scenarios/things which could use definitions.I didn't really like it, but I think it was because of the Czech translation...Marvelous, silly, ridiculous fun with the English language, as only can be had with the English language.Totally silly, useless and pythonesque dictionary. Brian McCall was reading over my shoulder and we were both laughing so hard, tears running out, gasping for air...I prefer DA's other books; the ones about the galaxy.

I enjoyed reading it.There's not much room for books of "humour" in my life, why waste time reading delightfully inventive meanings for those place names that you just cannot believe are real when you could be reading a deep and heartfelt narrative of loss and despair? It also seemed like lots of stuff was related to posh stuff/different culture to me, and/or men so that might also explain why I didn't 'get' lots of it.This is really more of a coffee table/toilet entertainment book and shouldn't really be read cover to cover, but I did anyway. A dictionary that reaches beyond the boundaries that separate us all and bring us together; a life-changing read, one that will bring an idea of what the meaning of life could possibly be as seen through the lens of ordinary yet extraordinary life. It can get a little tiresome to read this book straight through, but I think it's fantastic for random flipping. Book.

This text uses place names to describe some of these meanings.When I first encountered this book in a friend's bathroom I definitely thought it was called When I first encountered this book in a friend's bathroom I definitely thought it was called I think that the only reason I put off reading this book for so long is that this is the last thing I'll ever read of the amazing Douglas Adams.

Here ar...In life and, indeed, in liff, there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist. It's fun trying to guess how to pronounce words like "Bindle" - because of the similarity in meaning, I decided to let it rhyme with swindle - "Brecon", "Hobarris", and "Warleggan".Great book if you enjoy practicing your pronunciation. I didn’t realize this is a “dictionary” of place names.
Because every definition is utterly made up, all the randomness can lose its novelty fairly quickly.I didn't really find it that funny and lots of the situations I didn't recognise. Sometimes the humour/sarcasm is hard to get for non-English speakers, but still I had a great time going through the book which is more of a dictionary than a novel.
