I love languages and so I studied about ten so far, to varying degrees, and that led me to the study of linguistics because the differences, sometimes subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle, between them fascinated me. I've admittedly developed some bizarre inerests in my pursuit of this topic, as the list of books below will no doubt prove. I've also included on the list some of my textbooks from my linguistic education, so that the beginner who wants to learn more can do so before they get in over their heads with the other stuff.
