I've started reading "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows" - No, it's not a sad book. Interesting for poets, as there are some words put in here with made up but really cool meanings. For instance:

looseleft - adj. Feeling a sense of loss upon finishing a good book, sensing the wright of the back cover locking away the lives of characters you've gotten to know so well. From looseleaf, a sheet of paper + left, departed"

How cool is that? Yowzer. 

Have fun

Regards,
Dan
