Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch
4.0
Like i said before, I'm not a native English speaker and i decided to pick up this book mostly to help undestand the acronims people use on twitter. I did help with that, specaialy providing sources to look up more but thats not the meat of this book. if you want to know more about the history of the internet or are weird out by how people comunicate today, you need to read this book. I don't often read non-fiction but i was enthralled. McCulloch is funny, charismatic and consice. Not even wasting a page. if you want to start reading non-fiction Because Internet is a good way to start.

This is my first time reading this series. I'm not an avid reader of mysteries but fantasy. So I should say I quite liked the book. I found the mystery enjoyable. I even figured out who the Killer was. All good stuff. My problem is that I didn't quite like Harry Dresden at the start. He is snarky, self-defeating and horny. But he reveals himself to have a heart of gold. I look forward to reading the next book and I'll keep reading if the author tones down the sexism or gives any other character than Harry, agency.
