I have returned to the wonderful fairy tale world that is our library. Among the many books I have at my disposal, I decided to start with "A Graphic Guide to Linguistics" - because I love comics and this is a graphic guide, but also what better subject with which to start then the study of words and language.
These little books are jam-packed with information, so here comes one of the first of the quizzes I will make for the book.
