What’s it about?
When an amateur linguist sets out to invent the most precise language in the world, he could never have predicted that he’d work on it for over 30 years. Or that people from all over the world would discover his work and use it in such strange ways. Fascinating.
Why I liked this
As someone who struggles to follow and implement her few hobbies, seeing this guy’s dedication to his interest was all sorts of inspirational.
Recommended for people who
- Like languages and linguistics
- Are pop psychology enthusiasts
- Want a kick in the pants to pursue their hobbies
- Think Klingon and all the Lord of the Rings’ languages are kickass
- Wish there was a language which ensured that you never again have to argue about whether that text you sent sounded angry or not
