A book: Streetwise French Dictionary / Thesaurus

I bought this over the weekend and started reading it straight away. So far, so good. This is my first slang dictionary and it's exciting. I don't know why it's taken me this long to develop a proper interest in the language, considering the fact that I studied it in university. I can't remember exactly what I was so preoccupied with. It certainly wasn't French studying. Better late than never, I suppose. I'm finally going to understand those damn expressions with animals in them but almost never involving any.
