520 8  Brad Pasanek's unusual work is the written report of a 
       massive digital humanities project that involved searching
       18th-century texts for the many ways writers use metaphors
       to characterize the mind. The book takes a selection of 
       broad metaphorical categories that the author discovered 
       in his digital research - including animals, coinage, 
       metal, rooms, and writing - and examines particular 
       examples within each category. Pasanek also frames the 
       "dictionary" elements of the project with a more 
       theoretical discussion of what he calls "desultory reading,
       " a form of "unsystematic perusal" of writing exemplified 
       in the way we approach dictionaries. Pasanek not only 
       argues that 18th-century thinkers largely employed 
       desultory reading, but also that his work on this very 
       project is itself an instance of this approach. The 
       project succeeds twofold: in treating 18th-century writing
       as its topic and in exemplifying its approach. Pasanek 
       maintains an accompanying website (https://
       metaphorized.com) that collects the results of his digital
       searches.
