This blog tells the story of one man's attempts to read the Collins English-Spanish dictionary 6th edition from front to back. "Easy, Lover!" I hear you cry. But it's not that easy. There are 2113 pages in this dictionary. It's against all odds, and will probably take me six years.
Sadly, the blog names "Easy, Lover!" and "Against All Odds" were already taken. So this blog is called "No Dust Jacket Required." This is a joke name. "No Jacket Required" was an album by Phil Collins. My Collins English-Spanish dictionary has no dust jacket. It fell off during an arduous period of translation in 2006. The spine's come off too. I don't know if this says anything about Phil Collins.
The dictionary was in fact written by Colin Smith. Somewhere along the line, Colin got misspelt. Unless it's a different Colin in the title.
I've been speaking and learning Spanish since 1993, and still haven't learnt it all. I don't expect memorising a page a day to help me either, but at least it'll give me something to write about.
