Every good writer needs reference stuff.
I personally love Roget's Thesaurus in the version where you have to look the word up in the back first, decide what you really mean, and then find all the synonyms. I am also a supporter of the American Heritage Dictionary as the absolute best American English dictionary out there. Get it, use it. Eurodicautom WWW Interface Click on the icon to send e-mail.
