Finished How to Overthrow the Government by Arianna Huffington, continuing with The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson. Yes, MickeyC, Bryson's book is much more engaging, though I stumbled a little when he started talking about languages in the Soviet Union-- me thinking the book was newish since Amazon lists the publishing date as 2015-- but it turns out this book was written in 1990; only just now transcribed into digital form.
