This Language, a River: A History of English by Susan M. Kim, K. Aaron Smith
challenging
informative
slow-paced
5.0
This book answered basically every question I had on the formation of the English language. Was it interesting, educational, and highly informative? Yes! Should you read this casually? LMAO WHAT? NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Though I've given this 5 stars, I have a massive gripe with how long some of these chapters are. The length does make it kind of hard to keep reading since at some point you start to wonder how long it will be before you're free. However, this is definitely influenced by the fact I read this book for my HEL class, so take that as you will.
