yes , the dictionary is always allowed , one may specify which dictionary of course but the short answer is that it is allowable. Note that not all dictionaries may be printed in your desired array of multi lingualality's ( sp) thank you, big b.
Originally posted by Frank BurnsBut nothing was said about not being allowed to have a pen or paper, so we could have an already-written book and write our own stuff. It'll just have to stay in the form of loose arks, I guess; otherwise we'd suddenly end up with two books, which isn't allowed.
Hmmm, that's an interesting twist. Good one! Stimulate your own creative juices by writing your own.
Originally posted by orangutanYes but you get to tell yourself the story. And just like any book, you won't know the story until you let it unfold. The possibilities would be endless. It would help keep your mind active and alert.
The trouble with writing your own book - when you get round to reading it - you already know the plot?
(unless you don't look at what you're writing I suppose)

And the book could certainly consist of blank pages. Somewhat like a diary.
Originally posted by Frank BurnsOf course a person could use a different writing tool, but if pens are allowed, there's no need. And of course the book could consist of blank pages, but I want a book to read, too. So I'd get a book to read and loose arks to write. If I am not allowed to have a pen and paper, I can still look for other writing tools. For example, I could carve the story in stone.
