Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell
5.0
Cultish is about the way that language defines groups (or cults, if you will), from the devious to the mundane.
This took me a looooong time to read because it is so dense with information and sometimes felt like it was circling around the same ideas for a while, but all of it was fascinating to me. I am a total language nerd, so this was right up my alley.
I read all of the book, but I listened to the audiobook for Part 5. This makes a great car listen imo.
My favorite part was Part 4, Wanna be a #BossBabe?
I wish that Part 6 talked more about celebrities. In the early sections of the book, it was hinted that we would hear about pop culture icons and I felt like I didn't really get that.
