.The Klingon Dictionary: English/Klingon, Klingon/English (Star Trek)
City Travel Guides > Books > Artificial Languages
by: Marc Okrand

March 01, 1992
I bought this for a bit of a laugh. I always wanted to dress up as a Klingon, enter a busy bar on a Saturday night and ask the barman for a prune juice, then headbutt the first bloke who gave me a funny look whilst telling him (in Klingon of course) that his mother has a smooth forehead.

Now, as soon as I get the costume I can, and a whole lot more. It's not easy though. Don't expect to read from cover to cover and be able to speak Klingon like Worf and Martok though. That just ain't gonna happen...

This seems to be the best book if you are trying to learn the Klingon Language "tlhingan". It includes a dictionary and a grammer part. Really nice!

.The Lost Road and Other Writings: Language and Legend Before the "Lord of the Rings" (History of Middle-Earth)
City Travel Guides > Books > Artificial Languages
by: J.R.R. Tolkien

September 21, 1989
This book is about the land of Numenor and the later annals of the Valar and of Beleriand. But in my opinion the most interesting part of this book are the Lhammas. This is the perfect book you must read before reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

GO ON BUY IT!

I bought this for my ten-year old son, who is reading the LOTR trilogy after thoroughly enjoying the films. He is finding it an excellent reference work to accompany the book and is enjoying looking things up in it.

.Much Ado About Nothing: The Restored Klingon Text
City Travel Guides > Books > Artificial Languages
by: William Shakespeare

December 01, 2001
I got this book from a friend of mine as a joke "you didn't believe me did you?" he had scribbled in the cover. I didn't and still don't. I'm not really into burning books but with this absolute travesty I'll make an exception. BURN IT!!!!

.Klingon "Hamlet" (Star Trek)
City Travel Guides > Books > Artificial Languages
by: The Klingon Language Institute

March 06, 2000
One may wonder why any Terran without the slightest interest in Klingon or Star Trek would search out this book. Gentle reader, I can only recommend you to persevere. 'Khamlet,' by that well-known dramatist Wil'yam Shex'pir, is worth your attention. Forget that the plot is well-known and the Klingon language obtuse, the introduction and appendices are fascinating.

As a somewhat closet Trekkie, I bought this book out of curiousity, unable to resist the appeal of the phrase "You have not experienced Shakespeare, until you have read him in the original Klingon," as in the film Star Trek VI. Yet, I confess that with my first degree in English Literature from the University of Cambridge, I was most intrigued by the literary criticism ... Read More:
