Palindromania!
Palindromania! | Jon Agee
4 posts | 1 read
The ultimate celebration for the palindromic year 2002! What exactly is "palindromania"? It's the inability to see the word STRAW without thinking WARTS. It's the powerful impulse to reverse the name OPRAH to make it HARPO. It's the uncontrollable urge to buy A TOYOTA. It's an obsession with words and phrases that read exactly the same forwards and backwards. And now, in his most entertaining and extensive volume, Jon Agee, the prime purveyor of palindromes, has taken this unique word phenomenon to a whole new level. Featuring themed sections, comic-strip-style stories, and even lengthy monologues, Agee's collection of over 160 familiar and unfamiliar palindromes paired with all-new masterly cartoons is a treasure for word-lovers young and old. Palindromania! is a 2003 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

And thanks for this SECOND giveaway! (Yep, you heard me. Check out @WorldsOkayestStepMom 's page for deets on both). My favorite teacher was my labor law professor in law school. I hated law school and was considering dropping out when I took his course and something just clicked. I stuck out school, passed the bar, and I've been practicing labor law for 8 years! #palindromegiveaway

WorldsOkayestStepMom Woot! My dad struggled through law school too! Thanks for entering and sharing about your prof!! 💖 6y

@jmofo is hosting the fun #LasagnaHogGiveaway

One of my fave words is tsundoku, a Japanese word that means “the act of leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piling up together with other such unread books.”

Other faves include: serendipity, Elysian, cynefin, thalassophile, salaam, vellichor, coddiwomple, & lisztomania. (I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to words: https://pin.it/seqtwc4ws4ohft)

wanderinglynn @jmofo My tagged book is a hint as to the meaning of #LasagnaHog 😉 6y
jmofo Yay! Thanks for playing! @wanderinglynn 6y
