Krazelle Escarrilla krazelle — I originally bought this book as supplemental reading for one of my linguistics classes, but didn't read the whole thing at that point. Then I saw Steven Pinker speak and so when I found this book at my parents house I decided to give it a go. In the past, I have been known to down-rate scientific books if they are outdated. I am definitely interested in reading some of Pinker's more recent stuff but this book was great. I think one of his biggest strengths as a writer, speaker, and scholar is his knowledge of what people are interested in reading. While putting forth a serious theory (and I do classify this as science because of its basis in evolutionary biology) he uses humor and interesting examples to illustrate his points. This book is geared to the non-specialist. There is a glossary in the back and lots of information that will be familiar to anyone who has taken an intro to linguistics class. I would like to read a book that takes the opposite view (if there is a recently written one--I really don't know about current developments in cognitive sciences); Pinker is pretty convincing but I don't like to hear only one side of a story. One of my favorite chapters in the book was where he talks about "language mavens" and speaks out against prescriptive grammar. I used to be really into grammar and correcting people but a few years ago when I became a meta-snob (my own personal term meaning a snob about not being a snob) I stopped doing that so I enjoyed his criticism of "standard grammar."

Kreis クライス deparis000e8e1 — I didn't find this book all that interesting, and most of the essays were boring. I don't recommend this book.

Tanya Phillips tanyaphillips66 — My English teacher once said that a good book is one a person can read at different stages in their life, and find different things about the book each time it's read. This is one of those books. One of the most incredible tales of unrequited love, friendship, betrayal, and honor I've ever read.
