Books for an Amateur Linguist - Page 4

Piggybacking off of a private user's excellent list: "Linguist's Bookshelf" https://www.listchallenges.com/linguists-bookshelf, from which I got many of the titles on this list, I have created a list of books, both fiction and nonfiction, which should be quite interesting to an amateur linguist or anyone interested in languages, especially English. 😊
P.S. This is mostly a giant TBR list for me too.
P.P.S. How I managed to forget to add A Clockwork Orange is beyond me...🤦‍♀️
