Journal Entry 3 by Chuggypig at Brigantes Bar & Brasserie OBCZ / Meetup Venue in York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Monday, July 24, 2017
Released 6 yrs ago (7/25/2017 UTC) at Brigantes Bar & Brasserie OBCZ / Meetup Venue in York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Fascinating and easily read collection of essays, busting language myths such as 'women talk too much', and 'some languages are easier to read than others'.
As always with a collection of essays, there are some that are a little drier than others, but overall I found this fascinating.
To be released at the July York Bookcrossing meetup.

I concur - mostly fascinating, one or two essays a little dull. The revelation that, to men, women talk too much if they talk at all, was expected but still disturbing...
