{Lindsay} Book 3

I finished reading Spellbound just a few minutes ago. I was expecting to really like it since I'm a total whore for anything language related, but I was actually pretty bored by it. It didn't really tell me much that I hadn't already learned about the general history of the English language, and the author's style was kind of off-putting. He inserted way too much of himself into the book, with really random comments and opinions. I guess I was looking for something more nerdily academic, while this book was clearly intended to be a bit more accessible to general readers. (I feel like this makes me sound super pretentious or something...really the bottom line was that it wasn't what I was expecting and I wanted a bit more.)

Next up is Persepolis. I bought it yesterday on a whim cause I've heard lots of good things about it. I'm also still trying to get through my Irvine Welsh book. Oi!
