We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello all. I'm a former linguistics student and I now write a book
column for a newspaper. I'm trying to come up with some books on
language that would appeal to a non-academic audience. I'm thinking of
mainstream books that aren't dopey -- somewhere in the vicinity of
William Safire or Geoffrey Nunberg. I'd be very appreciative if anyone
has a moment to respond with their favorite books; if they're newer
titles, all the better. Thank you so much!
