Hey guys, just a reminder that the 9rules Book Club is voting for December's fiction and nonfiction book, so head on over to get your opinion heard.
Just to whet all the bibliophile appetites, fiction frontrunners are The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel by Diane Setterfield, and Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card.
In the nonfiction category, we have The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr., Ending Aging by Aubrey du Grey, Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela, and The Elephants of Style: A Trunkload of Tips on the Big Issues and Gray Areas of Contemporary American English by Bill Walsh. (Richard, even though it's not the Queen's English, I'm talking to you!)
Come on now, you know you want to!

Actually, he's exactly who I was thinking about when I decided upon that. Any linguist, I venture, would be interested in the differences within a language, and the nuances found therein.

Looks like fun, wish I had time for it.
I have so many books sitting here I have to read already it's hard to do this kind of thing online. "The Historian" I enjoyed some time ago, good choice.
