Leelo’s Reviews > Babel: An Arcane History > Status Update

This book is exactly why I am in love with books and literature

If all the micro-aggression and also the blatant racism wasn’t enough now I have yo sit through the opium wars and witness its cruelty and ugliness of it all

I have never seen anyone portray academia in a more accurate way

I've been dog-earing nearly every other page and fighting the overwhelming urge to underline and highlight the entire book.
