    I posted a note to Jeremiah asking if he ever found out if this was fiction or not,
    but, his original posting was a year ago. Did anyone else find out if this book was
    fiction or fact?

    Have you been bombarded by complete strangers who wanted to know, after you have
    written a review, and/or made comments expressing your opinion of a book,
    whether they should read this book? And it isn't that they took the time to see
    who you are, then ask in a note, no, they just spammed you and everyone else on
    Shelfari who has said book on shelf. Does this irriate you? If so, you can do
    something about it: you can contact either of the two Shelfari reps below, or
    better yet, you can contact both of them and ask them to please remove the new
    and annoying feature that allows this spamming!

    Did anyone else find themselves wondering if this book was fiction? The story was so captivating and almost impossible that I had to wonder myself.

    loved it, informative as well as entertaining, and i too am one of those folks who love the dictionary and the oed has alway been kind of a mystical documnet to me. this book not only tells the great story of the madman, but also demystifies the big book...
