Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution

A book on how language affects the everyday life. With big and little implications.

This is by far one of the best books I've read in a long time. It beautifully ties in the importance of language and the nuance and art of being a translator. With issues of the British Commonwealth. On top of that it's just a fun coming of age story for university students.
