The Anthropology of Language: An Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology

by Harriet Joseph Ottenheimer

A good book if you’d like an overview of Linguistic Anthropology. Coherent, easy to read and sprinkled with amusing anecdotes.

Wonderfalls - The Complete Series

by Peter O'Fallon

I’ve watched the whole series a couple times since I added it to All Consuming. It makes me happy, but also a bit sad because I really like the characters and I sort of want to know what happened to them.

Academic sludge (rated 2 stars)

The Printing Press as an Agent of Change (Volumes 1 and 2 in One)

by Elizabeth L. Eisenstein

Reading this book is like wading through fetid, knee-deep mud, slow going and generally unpleasant. This is such an interesting topic, but this is not the book to read unless you are a serious scholar. Not surprisingly, it was promptly dropped from the curriculum.

I am completely unable to function without at least one pot of tea per day.

Gingerbread Latte

by Starbucks

I normally don’t go in for Starbucks’ frou frou flavored coffees, but I’m obsessed with the Gingerbread Lattes. My brother-in-law works for Starbucks, so I had him procure one of the big bottles of gingerbread syrup for me, so I can have them even when they’re not in season.

The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1)

by Philip Pullman

I’ve had so many people recommend this book to me, and I’m finally getting around to reading it.

Wonderfalls - The Complete Series

by Peter O'Fallon

I love this series, I’m slowly watching the episodes I haven’t seen. There are so few I feel like I need to ration them out. Only five left.

The best TV show that (almost) nobody watched.
