The Language Police: How Pressure Groups Restrict What Students LearnRiveted_Reader_Melissa You read this one already, didn‘t you @BarbaraTheBibliophageToo old, too ugly, and not deferential to men 5y
Too old, too ugly, and not deferential to mentjwill I‘ve read Freedom Writers. Of the others, I‘m leaning toward Chernobyl, Timbuktu, and Language Police. 5y
rjsthumbelina I have been wanting to read The Language Police. And I own the audiobook of The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu 5y
keithmalek I'm not a lady, but I've read (and thoroughly enjoyed) The World Without Us. 5y
daniwithtea I‘ve read Timbuktu. The rest sound really great! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @keithmalek That‘s ok! I‘m glad to know you liked it. I‘ll read all of them eventually, but our group for a book exchange just happens to include all ladies this time, so I was trying to pick something no one‘s read yet or already owns. 5y
keithmalek Whoops. I didn't see all the tagged people. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @keithmalek Again, that‘s ok, a bunch of extra people chimed in too, nothing is really private here, and I love the input. In my real life a few read, but almost none read nonfiction, so it‘s great to talk about them with other people who have read them. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @daniwithtea @tjwill @Riveted_Reader_Melissa My first choice is The World Without Us. I read the Craft book so long ago that I‘d reread if people were interested. I think Reds is too long for a round robin read (700+ pages). If we read the Pun book, then Language Police is a LOT of language-related reading. So maybe save one of them for another round. Voices from Chernobyl sounds deeply depressing. 5y
tjwill @BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘d be up for The World Without Us too. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa So @BarbaraTheBibliophage @tjwill @daniwithtea Is that The World Without Us Then? Just double checking... 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I think so, yes! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I thought I better check since I didn‘t have a consensus at first, if not I had a plan B waiting in the wings. 😉 5y
tjwill @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Sounds good! 5y
daniwithtea @Riveted_Reader_Melissa sounds good to me! 5y
