The book of words

The book of words.

One word for who you are right now, and what it means to be it. These are only the common words people come looking for. The reading is not a menu, and it is not limited to this wall. Your word may be one that appears on no list at all. None of them is yours until the reading returns it, in about eight minutes, free.
