Dictionaries & encyclopedias are so much fun! And there's SO MANY of them! In the library catalog of our uni, there were over 16,000 dictionaries and over 3,000 encyclopedias. And it's so interesting to browse through them randomly and see what crazy stuff you can find (such as, The Encyclopedia of Fresh Fermented Milk Products; who knew?).
And there's one I saw in a review that my uni didn't have on made-up languages. It sounds so cool! :D

"More than 200 entries are arranged alphabetically by name of work and cover languages found in novels, short stories, films, television shows, and children's books, mostly from the science-fiction realm. Four or five pages illustrated with examples of alphabet systems are devoted to The Lord of the Rings and Star Trek other entries are just a few lines long. Each entry concludes with a list of sources."
It has examples of made-up alphabets! And "dinosaur languages"! And it's the only book with the Library of Congress subject heading "Imaginary languages--encyclopedias"!
It sounds like it is made of total WIN. ♥
