The Language Report
The Language Report was published by Oxford University Press on October 9th 2003, and contains the meanings of different phrases that have only come into common use within recent years. From the reviews I have seen, it looks worth a read. I've bought a copy of it and I'm halfway through, I know, it's been out for almost a year, but I've been very busy!! So far, I've found it really interesting, and I'd definately recomend that you go out and buy a copy! Quite worryingly, I do a lot of the things it says in the book, like not pronouncing the "t"s in "seatbelt"!

Larpers and Shroomers: The Language Report
In October 2004, another book by Susie is going to be published called "Larpers and Shroomers: The Language Report" which is a revised version of "The Language Report", for 2004. If you're going to judge a book by its cover, then this will be one that you'll want to buy, (apologies for the pun, but I do like the cover!) Anyway, you don't need to judge it, because it's written by Susie, and if "The Language Report" is anything to go by, then "Larpers and Shroomers: The Language Report" will be brilliant, so there!
