The Surprising Truth About Language according to David Shariatmadari

This happy yellow cover was a bot suggested read I was glad I took. It’s an overview of linguistics as a discipline, but it does so with a refreshing wholistic viewpoint.

This book celebrates human language and the people who use it with the awe and reverence it deserves.

If you don’t walk away from it impressed with yourself and your ability to figure out all the intricacies of language all by your baby self, you should give it a reread.
