Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle
by Daniel L. Everett

medium-paced
A fascinating story of a missionary who became a language scholar. He learned one of the most difficult languages in the world, and certainly the most bizarre one: the language of the Piraha tribe in the Amazonian. Reading this book is an adventure in itself. One of my favourites. It makes you think about the human civilization, compared to the life of this tribe that has almost no civilization (a very rudimentary language, no rituals, no law, no money, etc.) but is happy.
