take exception to

[nonEnglish]

"It seemed that many people there were taking exception to the whole idea of 'chick lit' "


My question is two-fold (can I say that? I mean I have two questions.)

What is "take excertion to",( I checked my American Heritage College Dictionary but had no luck) and could you recommend a good dictionary? Thanks.
