Good thing I finished "Don't Sleep There Are Snakes" last night...

I don't know about this book. More than 1/3 was a defense of why his views of the Pirahã language doesn't fit with the theories of Chomsky Linguistics. Mostly over my head. The parts of the Pirahã themselves were very interesting, but it's probably best this didn't make it...
