Is there a book where each word is used only once?
- chippy 13y agoI was going to say a telephone book.. but I think it should be like the BBC's Just A Minute show, but in book form.
- czr80 13y agoI think that might be impossible to sustain for any substantial length. It's true, admittedly, such constraints are often embraced by authors seeking novelty; consider someone's novel written entirely without using the letter 'e'. This rule, though, seems excessive - constructions would grow increasingly baroque, English's famously large vocabulary stretched thin, meaning squirreled into obscure words, awkward transitions. And yet, perhaps too hastily dismissing an idea is equally foolhardy. Exploring Borge's library one may, indeed, see everything in sufficient time...
