March #BookSpin done! Overall, I enjoyed this. It is a collection of trivia about languages, grouped by topic - alphabets, slang, etc. By the last few chapters I started to find that format wearing. There is no narrative through-line. Also, pub'd in 1982, parts are dated (e.g. parts about the USSR) but that makes it kind of interesting in a different way.
