The Story of Yiddish: How a Mish-Mosh of Languages Saved the Jews by Neal Karlen

informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.5

You'd think after reading a book about an interesting language I'd find a few more words to describe it but I'm feeling a little stumped on this one today. I enjoyed it. 

It's informative and easy to dip into - it mentions early on that it's designed so you can just read a paragraph or two at a time. The only downside of this is that I sometimes found it hard to follow how one paragraph connected to the next, or if they connected at all. 

There are lots of references in here for further reading too (as if I needed more!) so it's a good starting point for research into all things Jewish.
