Language and Politics
This book is a pretty good attempt at merging the two things Noam Chomsky talks about incessantly. The book sticks primarily to the familiar question-answer format, where Chomsky is either with the interviewer face to face, or is responding to questions in writing. The two disappointments I have are that there is a lot of repetition, sometimes in consecutive chapters/interviews. The repetitions made me question whether or not I was rereading pages and interviews, or even if the book had printing mistakes. Alas, the problem lies in the fact that so many interviews that happen at the same time likely cause Chomsky to repeat himself on certain topics. The other issues stems from the first problem. At 784 pages, this book is a pain in the ass to carry around and read because it is so big. I don't mind being that guy on the bus who is reading the anarcho-syndicalist tome on politics and language because I obviously am reading it for all the ladies to check out the size and shape of my parietal bone, but I do mind being that guy who reads books that take so long to read that he forgets what the first few chapters were about. I should just stop reading these perennial tomes and go back to playing video games.
Having said all of this negative stuff, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the bits about linguistics. Sometimes Chomsky can get so deep into the specialized knowledge thing that he's basically speaking another language.
