To be honest, it's my next read. It's coming by UPS. Should've taken note of the "right now" part of the title.
I like the idea of languages evolving and going extinct, which this book promises to be about. I also like the idea behind the towel of babel, one language for everybody, so I picked this book based on that. If that gives you an idea?
Have you read other books by him? I think he's an associate professor in linguistics.

This book has me convinced Shakespeare will be forgotten sooner than later.
